evidence of choosing sine rule      (M1)

eg      a sin  A = b sin  B = c sin  C

correct substitution      (A1)
eg      DB sin  59 = 11 sin  100

9.57429

DB = 9.57 (cm)      A1 N2

a.

evidence of choosing cosine rule     (M1)

eg    a 2 = b 2 + c 2 2 b c cos ( A ) , D C 2 = D B 2  +  B C 2    2DB × BC × cos ( D B C )  

correct substitution into RHS      (A1)
eg    9.57 2 + 6 2 2 × 9.57 × 6 × cos 82 , 111.677
