Answer

$\triangle B D C$ is a right$-$angled triangle.
$ \therefore B C^2$
$=B D^2+D C^2$
$=3^2+4^2$
$=9+16$
$=25$
$\Rightarrow B C=5 \ cm $
$\triangle A B C$ is a right$-$angled triangle.
$ \therefore A B^2$
$=A C^2-B C^2$
$=13^2-5^2$
$=169-25$
$=144$
$\Rightarrow A B=12 \ cm$
$3-2 \cos \angle B A C+3 \cot \angle B C D$
$=3-2 \times \frac{A B}{A C}+3 \times \frac{D C}{B D}$
$=3-2 \times \frac{4}{13}+3 \times \frac{4}{3}$
$=3-\frac{24}{13}+4$
$=7-\frac{24}{13}$
$=\frac{91-24}{13}$
$=\frac{67}{13} . $
