The trapezoid $ABCD$ has sides $AB$ and $CD$ that are parallel $\hat{DAB} = 6^{\circ}$ and $\hat{ABC} = 42^{\circ}$. Point $X$ lies on the side $AB$ , such that $\hat{AXD} = 78^{\circ}$ and $\hat{CXB} = 66^{\circ}$. The distance between $AB$ and $CD$ is $1$ unit . Prove that $AD + DX - (BC + CX) = 8$ units.
