Explanation:

ED is greater than BC

the line from B to ED ^ (which i drew ) the point it touches ED name it X. so EX will be 2 ( ED-BC)(6-4).

then u have a triangle. EX, XB and EB.

you have length of EX(2) and u have hypotenuse. so u can calculate XB using Pythagoras theorem.

15.1²=2²+XB²

15.1²-2²=XB²

224.01=XB²

XB=14.97

since XB and DC are parallel ( a rectangle is forming XBCD) so DC is also 14.97
