(a) Two lines AB and CD intersect at x such that \(\stackrel\frown{CAX}\) is equal to \(\stackrel\frown{BDX}\). If |AX| = 6 cm, |XB| = 4 cm and |CX| = 3 cm, find |XD|. (b) The diagram shows the positions of three points X, Y and Z on a horizontal plane. The bearing of Y from X is 312^\circ and that of Y from Z is 022^\circ. If |XY| = 32 km and |ZY| = 50 km, calculate, correct to one decimal place : (i) |XZ| ; (ii) the bearing of Z from X.
