Question
The quadrilateral ABCD represents a park, where \({\text{AB}} = 120{\text{ m}}\), \({\text{AD}} = 95{\text{ m}}\) and \({\text{DC}} = 100{\text{ m}}\). Angle DAB is 70° and angle DCB is 110°. This information is shown in the following diagram.
A straight path through the park joins the points B and D.
A new path, CE, is to be built such that E is the point on BD closest to C.
The section of the park represented by triangle DCE will be used for a charity race. A track will be marked along the sides of this section.
Find the length of the path BD.
Show that angle DBC is 48.7°, correct to three significant figures.
Find the area of the park.
Find the length of the path CE.
Calculate the total length of the track.
