When we know 2 angles and one side, we use the Law of Sines.
First we need to find that third angle.
Angle A =
180 -41 -62 = 77 degrees
The Law of Sines states that
side a / Sine (A) = side x / Sine (X)
14 / Sine (77) = side x / Sine (41)
14 * Sine (41) / Sine (77) = side x
side x = 14 * 0.65606 / 0.97437
<span>side x = 9.18484 / 0.97437
</span>

<span>
side x = 9.4264396482

The solution to this equation is in the picture i’ve put below!
I'm assuming that the diagonals intersect at E. Since diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, BE=ED.
- 7x-2=x²-10
- x²-7x-8=0
- (x-8)(x+1)=0
- x = -1, 8
As distance must be positive, we reject the negative case, so x=8.
Thus, BE=ED=54.
√64 = 8
64÷1000 = 0.0064
8÷1000=0.0008
√0.0064 = 0.0008
