Solution
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
∴ x = 11 cm
∠DCA = ∠CAB (Alternate angles)
y + 9° = 24
y = 24° – 9° = 15°
∠DAB = 3y° + 5° + 24° = 3 x 15 + 5 + 24° = 50° + 24° = 74°
∠ABC =180°- ∠DAB = 180° – 74° = 106°
z = 106°
Hence x = 11 cm, y = 15°, z = 106°
