Let ∠ B A D = X and ∠ A B D = Y . Draw line l parallel to side A D passing through B . Construct a point E such that quadrilateral A B E D is an isoceles trapezoid .From here we have two cases:( i ) B E is outside A B C D and ( i i ) B E lies inside C D but i does not work because because one will find from angle chase that either of angle ∠ E B C or ∠ C B D is negative. Hence, B E is inside A B C D .From angle chase one will find that B E bisects ∠ B . By internal angle bisector theorem we find E C = 4 . 8 . Therefore, C D = 1 2 . 8 .
hey conan can u elaborate on how BE bisects angle B and how EC=4.8. plz reply soon
well i used a bit of sine rule and the constructions which mietantei conan has done

First we construct two lines, one parallel to A D passing on B and the line B D :
Now we notice that ∠ B E C = ∠ A D B = ∠ B A D and ∠ B C E = ∠ A D B → ∠ C B E = ∠ A D B . With that, △ A B D and △ B C E are similars. Now we can make the propostion: 6 C E = 1 0 8 → C E = 4 . 8 . Finally we have that A B = D E = 8 because ∠ B A D = ∠ A D E . Our answer will be: D E + C E = 8 + 4 . 8 = 1 2 . 8
