My take:

1686582845878.png


I got ##BC=10.25## cm, using cosine rule...no issue there. For part (b)
##BK=3cm## using sine rule i.e ##\sin 30^0 =\dfrac{BK}{6}##
Thus it follows that ##∠BDK=48.59^0## ...⇒##∠ADB=131.4^0## correct...any other approach?

Also:

##∠ADB=48.59^0## when BD is on the other side of the given perpendiculor line.

cheers guys

Seem ok to me.
'Not to scale' is an understatement....

And instead of outcomes, post steps: ##\angle ADB = \arcsin 3/4 = ...## is so much clearer !

##\LaTeX ## degrees is ^\circ : ##30^\circ##

@chwala ,

In case you miss @BvU 's post, it bears repeating... on all counts. :wink:
