Answer:

  4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the triangle is half the area of the rectangle. The base of the triangle is the diameter of the circle, 14 cm. So the height is found from ...

  A = 1/2bh

  (56 cm²)/2 = 1/2(14 cm)h

  h = (28 cm²)/(7 cm) = 4 cm

The height of triangle ADC is 4 cm.
