Triangle ACD with BE parallel to CD; AC = 11.7 cm, AE = 4 cm, BE = 6 cm and CD = 13.5 cm

Diagram NOT accurately drawn

The diagram shows triangle \(ACD\).
\(B\) is a point on \(AC\) and \(E\) is a point on \(AD\) so that \(BE\) is parallel to \(CD\).

\(AE\) = 4 cm
\(AC\) = 11.7 cm
\(BE\) = 6 cm
\(CD\) = 13.5 cm

(a) Calculate the length of \(AB\). (2)
(b) Calculate the length of \(ED\). (2)
