Finding the length of C D and the measurement of ∠ B D C :
Finding the length of E F and the measurement of ∠ F D E :
Having the measurements of the necessary angles, we can calculate for the answer to the question.
∠ B D C + ∠ C D E + ∠ F D E + ∠ B D F = 7 1 . 4 3 ∘ + 9 0 ∘ + 7 0 . 0 1 ∘ + ∠ B D F = 2 3 1 . 4 4 ∘ + ∠ B D F = ∠ B D F = ∠ B D F = 3 6 0 ∘ 3 6 0 ∘ 3 6 0 ∘ 3 6 0 ∘ − 2 3 1 . 4 4 ∘ 1 2 8 . 5 6 ∘
