Answer:

DC = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram consecutive angles are supplementary, that is

∠DAB and ∠ADC are consecutive and supplementary, thus

5x - 14 + 4x + 5 = 180

9x - 9 = 180 ( add 9 to both sides )

9x = 189 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 21

Hence

DC = - 2x + 54 = (- 2 × 21) + 54 = - 42 + 54 = 12
