The value of angles are ∠A = 155°, ∠B = 49°, ∠C = 160°, and ∠D = 155°.

Given that the kite has angles ∠a = (3x+5)°, ∠b = y°, ∠c = (5y-65)°, and ∠d = (4x-45)°, and that ∠a = ∠d, we can write:

3x + 5 = 4x - 45

Solving for x, we get:

x = 50

Now, we can substitute x = 50 into the equation for ∠c to find the value of y:

5y - 65 = 180

Solving for y, we get:

y = 49

Therefore, the values of the variables in the kite are x = 50 and y = 49. To find the lengths of the sides, we can substitute these values into the expressions for the sides:

Side A: ∠a = (3x+5)° = (3(50)+5)° = 155°

Side B: ∠b = y° = 49°

Side C: ∠c = (5y-65)° = (5(49)-65)° = 160°

Side D: ∠d = (4x-45)° = (4(50)-45)° = 155°

Therefore, the value of angles are are ∠A = 155°, ∠B = 49°, ∠C = 160°, and ∠D
