Answer
ABCD is a parallelogram and AC is its diagonal which bisects the opposite angle.
Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.
⇒ 3x + 14 = 2x + 25
⇒ 3x - 2x = 25 - 14
⇒ x = 11
In the parallelogram,
∠ DCA = ∠ CAB (alternate angles)
⇒ y + 9° = 24°
⇒ y = 24° - 9°
⇒ y = 15°
∠ DAB = (3y + 5 + 24)°
= (3 15 + 5 + 24)°
= (45 + 29)°
= 74°
∠ ABC = z = 180° - ∠ DAB
⇒ z = 180° - 74°
⇒ z = 106°
Hence, the value of x = 11 cm, y = 15° and z = 106°.
