Math Problem Statement

In the diagram, AB is parallel to CD, AC is equal to BD, angle ADB is 80°, and angle CAD is 20°. What is the measure of angle ADC?

Solution

In this diagram, we are given the following information:

  • ABCDAB \parallel CD,
  • ADB=80\angle ADB = 80^\circ,
  • CAD=20\angle CAD = 20^\circ,
  • AC=BDAC = BD, a geometric equality.

We need to find ADC\angle ADC.

Approach:

  1. Parallel Lines and Transversals: Since ABCDAB \parallel CD, the angles created by the transversal (e.g., CAD\angle CAD) will help us apply angle rules related to parallel lines.
