Though I can't find the actual length of DO, I'm writing only a way to find DO.
Draw CM, parallel to BO. M will be a point at AB.
The quadrilateral BMCD thus formed will be a parallelogram.
∴BM = CD = 6
AM = AB - BM = 9 - 6 = 3.
AB || CD.
∴∠OAB = ∠OCD and ∠OBA = ∠ODC (corresponding angles).
CM || BO. ∠ACM = ∠AOB and ∠CMA = ∠OBA (corresponding angles).
∴∠CMA = ∠ODC.
∴ΔACM ~ ΔAOB ~ ΔODC.
Sides opposite to equal angles of two similar triangles are in the same ratio.
∴ On ΔACM ~ ΔODC,
AM x 2 = CD = 3 x 2 = 6.
AC x 2 = OC = 10 x 2 = 20.
And OD = CM x 2.
The length of OD must be between 15 to 25.
Or the average length of OD will be 20.
