Ok rectified ! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let B C = A D = 1 and ∠ A C D = θ .
We note that ∠ B D C = 1 8 0 ∘ − ∠ D B C − ∠ B C D = 1 8 0 ∘ − 8 2 ∘ − 7 0 ∘ = 2 8 ∘ . Using sine rule , we have:
sin ∠ D B C D C sin 8 2 ∘ D C ⟹ D C = sin ∠ B D C B C = sin 2 8 ∘ 1 = sin 2 8 ∘ sin 8 2 ∘
Using sine rule again,
A D sin ∠ A C D 1 sin θ sin θ sin θ ⟹ θ = D C sin ∠ D A C = sin 8 2 ∘ sin 9 8 ∘ × sin 2 8 ∘ = sin 8 2 ∘ sin 8 2 ∘ × sin 2 8 ∘ = sin 2 8 ∘ = 2 8 ∘ Note that D C = sin 2 8 ∘ sin 8 2 ∘ Note that sin ( 1 8 0 ∘ − x ) = sin x

Let E be a point such that B C E D is a ∣ ∣ gm. Now, B C = D E , ∠ D C E = ∠ B D C = 2 8 ∘ and also, ∠ D E C = ∠ D B C = 8 2 ∘ . Therefore, ∠ D E C + ∠ D A C = 1 8 0 ∘ = > A C E D is a cyclic quadrilateral, also B C = A D = D E = > ∠ A C D = ∠ D E C = 2 8 ∘
