The measure of ABD=180°- 54°=26°
and then the measure of ADB= x
and x + 26° + 28°= 180°, sum of anlgle in a triagle property
it means x= 180°- 26-28=126°
application of sinus law in the triangle

sin 28 / BD = sin 126/ AD = sin 26/ 25 so we can deduce that

AD= 25sin126 / sin26= 46.12
let 's consider the triangle ADC, so for finding h, we have sin 28 = h / AD
and then h = AD x sin28=21.65

The figure below shows a straight line AB intersected by another straight line t:

BaLLatris [955]

When two straight lines intersect, the pairs of nonadjacent angles in opposite posi-tions are known as vertical angles.

If a segment AB is intersected by a transversal labeled t, then ∠1 and ∠3 and ∠2 and ∠4 are vertically angles formed by the transversal t on the segment AB.

Angles ∠1 and ∠2 can be described as adjacent and supplementary angles, so

$m\angle 1+m\angle 2=180^{\circ}$ .

Angles ∠3 and ∠2 can be also described as adjacent and supplementary angles, so

$m\angle 3+m\angle 2=180^{\circ}$ .

Subtract from the first equation the second equation:

$m\angle 1+m\angle 2-(m\angle 3+m\angle 2)=180^{\circ}-180^{\circ},\\ m\angle 1-m\angle 3=0,\\ m\angle 1=m\angle 3$ .

Similarly you can prove that $m\angle 2=m\angle 4$ .
