Triangle ADC is also a right triangle, with D the right angle, and AC the hypotenuse. 

The triangles are similar (right triangles which share an angle (A), so... 

AD/AC = AC/AB 
5/6 = 6/AB 
AB = 6*6/5 = 36/5 = 7.2 

The answer to the first question is "C" 

CD can be found using the Pythagorean theorem... 

AD^2 + CD^2 = AC^2 
25 + CD^2 = 36 
CD^2 = 11 
CD = sqrt(11) = 3.3
