The diagram shows a field $$\(A B C D\)$$. The bearing of $$\(B\)$$ from $$\(A\)$$ is $$\(140^{\circ}\)$$. $$\(C\)$$ is due east of $$\(B\)$$ and $$\(D\)$$ is due north of $$\(C\)$$. $$\(A B=400 \mathrm{~m}, B C=350 \mathrm{~m}\)$$ and $$\(C D=450 \mathrm{~m}\)$$. Calculate the distance from $$\(D\)$$ to $$\(A\)$$. ......................................... $$\(\mathrm{m}\)$$
