Comparing ΔABC and ΔACD:

ABAC=36=12 BCAD=510=12 ACCD=612=12 ABAC=BCAD=ACCD=12

Therefore, by SSS similarity criterion, ΔABC ∼ ΔCAD

∴ ∠BAC = ∠ACD (Corresponding angles of similar triangles are equal)

⇒ ∠ACD = 56° (∠BAC = 56°)

Applying angle sum property of triangles in ΔACD:

∠ACD + ∠DAC + ∠CDA = 180°

⇒ 56° + ∠DAC + 30° = 180°

⇒ ∠DAC = 180° − 86° = 94°

Thus, the measure of ∠DAC is 94°.
