A E D + D C B = A E D + D C A + A C B Opposites angles of cyclic quad ACDE = 18 0 + 9 0 Angle extended by diameter. = 270 \begin{aligned} \angle AED + \angle DCB & = \blue{\angle AED + \angle DCA} + \red{\angle ACB} & \small \blue{\text{Opposites angles of cyclic quad ACDE}} \\ & = \blue{180^\circ} + \red{90^\circ} & \small \red{\text{Angle extended by diameter.}} \\ & = \boxed{270}^\circ \end{aligned}

Let B m C = α \angle {BmC}=α .

Then m A E = A E m = 3 α 2 , m E D = m D E = m D C = m C D = m C B = m B C = π α 2 A E D + B C D = π α 2 + 3 α 2 + π α = 3 π 2 = 270 ° \angle {mAE}=\angle {AEm}=\dfrac{3α}{2}, \angle {mED}=\angle {mDE}=\angle {mDC}=\angle {mCD}=\angle {mCB}=\angle {mBC}=\dfrac{π-α}{2}\implies \angle {AED}+\angle {BCD}=\dfrac{π-α}{2}+\dfrac{3α}{2}+π-α=\dfrac{3π}{2}=\boxed {270\degree}
