Question
In the triangle ABC, \({\text{AB}} = 2\sqrt 3 \) , AC = 9 and \({\rm{B\hat AC}} = 150^\circ \) .
Determine BC, giving your answer in the form \(k\sqrt 3 \), \(k \in {\mathbb{Z}^ + }\) .

\({\text{B}}{{\text{C}}^2} = 12 + 81 + 2 \times 2\sqrt 3 \times 9 \times \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2} = 147\) M1A1
\({\text{BC}} = 7\sqrt 3 \) A1

a.
area of triangle \({\text{ABC}} = \frac{1}{2} \times 9 \times 2\sqrt 3 \times \frac{1}{2}{\text{ }}\left( { = \frac{{9\sqrt 3 }}{2}} \right)\) M1A1
therefore \(\frac{1}{2} \times {\text{AD}} \times 7\sqrt 3 = \frac{{9\sqrt 3 }}{2}\) M1
\({\text{AD}} = \frac{9}{7}\) A1
