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)

M1: For correct scale factor or correct equation involving \(AB\) or correct expression for \(AB\)
Accept 0.444(444…) rounded to at least 3SF
