Answer:


\huge \boxed{\mathrm{10.3 \ units}}

Explanation:

To solve for CD, we can create a right triangle.

Where CD becomes the hypotenuse.

The length of the base of the triangle is 9 units.

The length of the height of the triangle is 5 units.

Apply Pythagorean theorem to solve for the hypotenuse.


\sf hypotenuse = √((base )^2 +(height )^2 )


c=√(9^2 +5^2 )


c=√(106)


c \approx 10.29
