  1. ∠EBA = 180-∠ABC = 180-∠ADC = ∠ADF
    Triangle EDA ~ Triangle ADF (AA)
    Hence EB/AB = DF/AD
    DF = 15/4

  2. Let G be a point such that EAGC is rectangle.
    Then CD=4, DG=3.

    ∵ A,F,G,C concyclic
    ∴ DF×DC=DA×DG
    ⇒ 4x=15, x=15/4

    Aria paralelogramului ABCD=BC.AE=AF.DC=>AF=BC.AE/DC=5√7/4
    AE^2 = 4^2 −3^2 = 7,AD^2 = AF^2 +FD^2 ,x^2 = 5^2 −(5√7/4)^2 = 5^2(1-7/16)=25.9/16=>
    x=15/4
