Geometry Problem Involving Parallel Lines and Isosceles Triangle

Secondary 1

In the diagram, \(BCDE\) is a quadrilateral and \(\Delta ABE\) is an isosceles triangle.
\(ED\) is parallel to \(BC\) and \(EB\) is parallel to \(DC\), \(ED=BC\) and \(EB=DC\).
Given that \(\angle AEB=82{}^\circ \) and \(\angle BCE=26{}^\circ \),

  1. state the special name of the quadrilateral \(BCDE\),
  2. find the values of \(x\), of \(y\) and of \(z\).

State all reasons in your workings.
