Expert Answer
Join Centre O with C and this line will be perpendicular bisector of AB.
Therefor AD=DB=12
OB=13
Therefor OD^2=(OB)^2-(DB)^2=25
Therefor OD=5
Let Angle ODB=X
In triangle ODB, tan X=DB/DO=12/5
In triangle OCB, tan X=CB/BO=CB/13
Equating both values of tan X
12/5=CB/13
Therefor CB=(12*13)/5=156/5=31.2
