Answer:

DC = 10.93 cm ,  AC = 9.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From trigonometry;

⇒ Tan 60 = AB/BD

⇒AB = BD Tan 60 ( where BD = 4 cm )

⇒ AB = 6.93 cm

Also, AB=BC , therefore;

⇒ BC = 6.93 cm

⇒ Cos 60 = BD/AD

⇒ AD = BD/ Cos 60 = 4/Cos 60

⇒ AD = 8 cm

From Pythagoras theorem;

⇒ [tex]AC^{2}[/tex] = [tex]AB^{2}[/tex] + [tex]BC^{2}[/tex] = [tex](6.93)^{2}[/tex] + [tex](6.93)^{2}[/tex]

⇒ AC = [tex]\sqrt{96.05}[/tex] = 9.80 cm

⇒ DC = BD + BC = 4 + 6.93

⇒ DC = 10.93 cm
