k = 14cm

y = 73°

x = 63°

Step-by-step explanation:

The slant height (adjacent sides) are equal

The slant base are also equal

One of the given slant height = 14 cm

The second slant height = k

Since they are equal, k = 14cm

SInce the two base sides are equal, the angles at the base (opposite to each other) are also equal

One of the given angle = 73°

The 2nd one = y

y = 73°

The sum of interior angles in a kite is 360°

y + 73 + 151 + x = 360°

73 + 73 + 151 + x = 360

297 + x = 360

x = 360 - 297

x = 63°
