To discuss Part (C)!

In this case, both Sine rule and Cosine rule should be able to use to find angle ADC but somehow both techniques return a completely different answer. Am I missing out a constraint here?

The triangle on the right side is not scaled correctly.

With sides of 9.5cm, 6.5cm and 3.80399cm, angle ACD should be 132.69° instead.

However, if AD = 9.5cm and ∠ACD = 115.855° are taken to be correct, then CD cannot be 6.5cm. It has to be ≈ 7.20 cm

In view of the incorrectly scaled triangle ACD, both approaches should be given full credit even though the answers are different, since both approaches are correct.
