Call ∠ B A D = θ so ∠ D A F = θ + 2 0 ∘ . Also because △ A B C is isoscles, ∠ A B C = ∠ A C B = 4 0 ∘
Then we can find exterior angles ∠ A D E = 4 0 ∘ + θ and ∠ A F E = 6 0 ∘ , so in △ D A F , ∠ D A F = 8 0 ∘ − θ .
Equating the two formulas for ∠ D A F gives θ = 3 0 ∘ and also ∠ D A F = 5 0 ∘ . A few other angles can also be easily derived from angles of a triangle sum to 1 8 0 ∘ , but not the one we want.
Apply the law of sines on △ B A D and △ C A F which have an equal side and can be combined. Calling F C B D = E F D E = a allows us to solve for a .
a = sin 2 0 ∘ sin 1 1 0 ∘ sin 3 0 ∘ sin 1 2 0 ∘
Call ∠ D A E = α so ∠ A E F = ( 5 0 ∘ − α ) then apply the law of sines on these two triangles which have a side in common. Combine as before but this time rewrite the result as
sin ( 5 0 ∘ − α ) sin α = sin 6 0 ∘ a sin 7 0 ∘
Finally, substitute a into this and reduce, since sin 7 0 ∘ = sin 1 1 0 ∘ and sin 1 2 0 ∘ = sin 6 0 ∘ and you're left with
sin ( 5 0 ∘ − α ) sin α = sin 2 0 ∘ sin 3 0 ∘
So, by inspection α = ∠ D A E = 3 0 ∘
In the first line I think you meant ∠ A B C = ∠ A C B = 4 0 °
Given < BAC = 100, AB = AC implies that <ACF = < ABD = 40. Since <CAF = 20, < AFC = 120, < AFE = 60. Let x = <BAD. Then <DAF = x + 20.In triangle DAF, < ADF = 100 - x, and < BDA = 80 + x. Then in triangle ABD, 180 = x + 40 + 80 + x, or 180 = 2x + 120, and x = 30.Then <DAF = 100 - 30 - 20 = 50 = x + 20, so <DAE = 30. Ed Gray

By angle addition, ∠ B A C = ∠ B A D + ∠ D A F + ∠ C A F , and since we are given that ∠ B A C = 1 0 0 ° and ∠ C A F = 2 0 ° , ∠ B A D + ∠ D A F = 8 0 ° . We are also given that ∠ D A F = ∠ B A D + ∠ C A F , so ∠ D A F = ∠ B A D + 2 0 ° . Solving these two formulas gives ∠ D A F = 5 0 ° a n d ∠ B A D = 3 0 ° .
Since A B = A C and ∠ D A F = ∠ B A D + ∠ C A F , we can make a folds on segment A D and A F such that B ′ and C ′ meet at the same point G , as shown below.
Let H be the intersection of D F and A G . Since ∠ A C F = ∠ A B D (from isosceles △ A B C ), ∠ A G F = ∠ D G A , and by triangle ratios F G D G = H F D H . Since G D = B D and F G = F C by reflection, F C B D = H F D H . Since we are given that F C B D = E F D E , E is the same point as H .
Therefore, since ∠ D A E = ∠ B A D by reflection, ∠ D A E = ∠ B A D = 3 0 ° .
