\includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{a2525df8-dbd0-4b69-b6bb-f8ef6f96f7dc-3_394_522_1062_751} The size of angle \(B A C\) is \(65 ^ { \circ }\), and the lengths of \(A B\) and \(A C\) are 7.6 m and 8.3 m respectively.
  1. Show that the length of \(B C\) is 8.56 m , correct to three significant figures.
  2. Calculate the area of triangle \(A B C\), giving your answer in \(\mathrm { m } ^ { 2 }\) to three significant figures.
  3. The perpendicular from \(A\) to \(B C\) meets \(B C\) at the point \(D\). Calculate the length of \(A D\), giving your answer to the nearest 0.1 m .
