Answer:
5. BD = 8 cm
6. See explanation below.
7. x = 42; y = 96; z = 64
Explanation:
5.
DC = 5 cm
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other, so since AC = 6 cm, OC = 3 cm.
The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other, so triangle DOC is a right triangle with right angle DOC.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(DO)^2 + (OC)^2 = (DC)^2
(DO)^2 + (3 cm)^2 = (5 cm)^2
(DO)^2 + 9 cm^2 = 25 cm^2
(DO)^2 = 16 cm^2
DO = 4 cm
Since BD = 2DO,
BD = 2(4 cm) = 8 cm
Answer: BD = 8 cm

There are different definitions of trapezium. In the U.S., trapezium is a quadrilateral, none of whose sides are parallel. According to the U.S. definition of trapezium, then, no parallelogram is a trapezium.
According to the UK definition of trapezium, a trapezium is a quadrilateral with at least 2 parallel sides. That means the other two sides may or may not be parallel. According to this definition, then a parallelogram is always a trapezium.

Triangle ADB is isosceles with AD = AB. That meakes their opposite angles congruent.
x = m<ADB = 42
42 + 42 + y = 180
y = 96
In a kite, there are two pairs of congruent sides. DC = BC, so z = m<BDC
z + z + 52 = 180
2z = 128
z = 64
