Notes
M1: for a correct method to find length \(CD\) or \(ED\)
(\(E\) is the point on line \(AD\) from where a vertical line is drawn downwards from point \(C\))
NB. Sine rule may be used
M1: for a correct method to find both \(CD\) and \(ED\) or
use of Pythagoras theorem
\((CD =)\;\sqrt{16.7^2 + \text{``}{17.90\ldots}\text{''}^2}\) (= 24.48686…)
\((ED =)\;\sqrt{\text{``}{24.48\ldots}\text{''}^2 - 16.7^2}\) (=17.90855…)
NB. Sine rule must be in the correct form to give the answer
M1: (dep on M2) complete method with no extra sides
A1: accept 101 – 102
