1. **Stating the problem:**
We have a quadrilateral ABCD with given sides and angles, and we need to find the unknown angle $\theta$ at vertex D.
2. **Known values:**
- $\angle BAC = 42^\circ$
- $\angle C = 121^\circ$
- $AB$ is horizontal
- $AD = 55$ mm
- $DC = 35$ mm
- $BC = 60$ mm
- $\angle D = \theta$ (unknown)
3. **Approach:**
We can use the Law of Cosines and the fact that the sum of interior angles in a quadrilateral is $360^\circ$.
4. **Step 1: Find $\angle B$**
Since $AB$ is horizontal and $AC$ forms $42^\circ$ with $AB$, $\angle BAC = 42^\circ$ is given.
5. **Step 2: Use Law of Cosines in triangle BCD to find $\angle D$**
Triangle BCD has sides:
- $BC = 60$ mm
- $CD = 35$ mm
- $BD$ unknown
We need to find $BD$ first using triangle ABD or ABC.
6. **Step 3: Use Law of Cosines in triangle ABD to find $BD$**
Triangle ABD has sides:
- $AD = 55$ mm
- $AB$ unknown (not given)
- $BD$ unknown
Since $AB$ is horizontal and no length is given, we cannot directly find $BD$.
7. **Step 4: Use angle sum in quadrilateral**
Sum of interior angles in quadrilateral ABCD is:
$$\angle A + \angle B + \angle C + \angle D = 360^\circ$$
Given $\angle A = 42^\circ$, $\angle C = 121^\circ$, and $\angle D = \theta$, we need $\angle B$.
8. **Step 5: Find $\angle B$**
Since $AB$ is horizontal and $AC$ forms $42^\circ$ with $AB$, $\angle B$ can be found by geometry or given data (not provided).
9. **Conclusion:**
Insufficient data to find $\theta$ exactly without length $AB$ or $BD$ or $\angle B$.
**Final answer:**
Cannot determine $\theta$ with given information.
