Let A B = B C = A D = 1 . Then A C = A B 2 + B C 2 = 2 . We note that ∠ A D C = 1 8 0 ∘ − x − ( 4 5 ∘ − x ) = 1 3 5 ∘ . Using sine rule :
A D sin ∠ A C D 1 sin ( 4 5 ∘ − x ) sin ( 4 5 ∘ − x ) 4 5 ∘ − x ⟹ x = A C sin ∠ A D C = 2 sin 1 3 5 ∘ = 2 1 = 3 0 ∘ = 1 5 ∘
Join B to D. From Quad ABCD, we see that <ADC=135°. Larger <ABC = 270°. Moreover, because Tr. ABC is isosceles with BA=BC, B lies on the perpendicular bisector of AC as also Larger <ABC = 270°=2*(<ADC). Then, B is the circumcentre of Tr. ADC and BD=BA=BC=AD. In other words, Tr. BAD is equilateral and hence 45°+x=60° or x=15°

∠ A D C = 1 8 0 − x − ( 4 5 − x ) = 1 3 5 ∘
Extend C D to E such that E D ⊥ A E . Since ∠ A D C and ∠ A D E are supplementary angles, ∠ A D E = 1 8 0 − 1 3 5 = 4 5 ∘ . It follows that △ A E D is an isosceles triangle. By ratio and proportion, we have
1 A E = 2 1 ⟹ A E = 2 2 , since A C is twice A E , △ A E C is a 3 0 − 6 0 − 9 0 special right triangle. It means that ∠ A C D = 3 0 ∘ .
Finally, 4 5 − x = 3 0 or x = 1 5 ∘
