Diagram

ABCDEF is a hexagon with AB parallel to ED and BC parallel to FE.

GFE and GABH are straight lines. Angle CBH = 70o and angle EFA = 90o.

Calculate the values of:

(a) \(p\);

(b) \(q\);

(c) \(t\);

(d) \(x\).

K, P, J and N are points on a circle and KN = NP.

KJ is a diameter and LKM is the tangent to the circle at K.

Angle LKN = 59o.

Find the values of:

(e) \(y\);

(f) \(z\).
