Points \(B,C,D\) are collinear. Given \(AC=10\) cm, \(AD=10\sqrt2\) cm, \(\angle ACB=\angle ACD=90^\circ\), and \(\angle ABC=30^\circ\), calculate

  1. \(AB\),[2]
  2. \(\angle DAC\),[2]
  3. the area of \(\triangle CAX\), where \(X\) is the midpoint of \(AD\) and \(CX\perp AD\).[2]

Give non-exact lengths and areas to 3 significant figures, and angles to 1 decimal place.
