What is that angle?

Geometry Level 1

A B C D ABCD is a convex quadrilateral such that A B C = A D C = 9 0 \angle ABC = \angle ADC = 90^\circ . If B A D = 5 0 \angle BAD = 50^\circ , what is the measure (in degrees) of B C D \angle BCD ?


The answer is 130.

Since the interior angles of a quadrilateral sum to 36 0 360^\circ , we have B C D = 36 0 C B A B A D A D C = 36 0 9 0 5 0 9 0 = 13 0 . \angle BCD = 360^\circ - \angle CBA - \angle BAD - \angle ADC = 360^\circ - 90^\circ - 50 ^\circ - 90 ^ \circ = 130 ^\circ .
