Since diagonal A B is the diameter of the circle, triangles A D B and A C B are right triangles. Then
sin 4 5 = 4 B D ⟹ B D = 4 sin 4 5 = 4 ( 2 2 ) = 2 2
It follows that A D = B D = 2 2 since triangle A D B is an isosceles right triangle with ∠ A B D = 4 5 ∘ .
Applying pythagorean theorem on triangle A C B , we get, B C = 4 2 − 2 2 = 1 2 = 2 3
Applying Ptolemy's Theorem , we have
( A B ) ( C D ) = ( A D ) ( C B ) + ( A C ) ( B D )
4 ( C D ) = 2 2 ( 2 3 ) + 2 ( 2 2 )
C D = 4 4 ( 6 + 2 ) = 6 + 2
