Other two sides are 11 long each

enter image source here
#/_A+ /_B= pi#
#/_B= (5pi)/6#
#:./_A= pi - (5p)/6 = pi/6#

#sin A = h / AD#
Given #AD = 8, sin A = sin (pi/6) = 0.5#

#h = AD * sin A = 8 * (1/2 )= 4#

Area of parallelogram = AB * h = 44
#:. AB = 44 / 4 = 11#

The other two sides are #11 # long each
