Non-right-angled triangles — practice question

The sketch depicts field ABCDE. The edge lengths and dotted interior lines are labelled as follows: $AB = 100$m, $BC = 170$m, $DE$ and $EA$ are also indicated, with $EA = 50$m. Within the field, dashed segments show $AD = 120$m and $BD = 150$m. Right-angle symbols appear at A and D. A north arrow points upwards. The diagram is NOT TO SCALE.
