since AD and BC are parallel, you should know that the angle DBC is ABD.

Since you know BD, use cosine rule to work out the missing length

Ah, so I’m assuming you have worked out BD as you said question 2, so to work out CD you could need to use the cosine rule. You have 2 sides and an angle between them (“Z” angle means that angle DBC= 56)
Because you know this, use the cosine rule to find out CD
If you’ve forgotten it:
a^2=b^2+c^2-2bcCosA

Thanks, can you take a look at my previous question on vectors.
