Note that triangle ABC is equilateral and triangle ACD is isosceles. So angle BCD=120 degrees
ReplyDeleteI believe there may be a small mistake in your answer.
DeleteYes Antonio. I made a mistake angle BCD= 60+80= 140
DeleteTriangle ABC is equilateral and Triangle ACD is thus isosceles (80-20-80)
ReplyDeleteHence < C = 60 + 80 = 140

Some interesting results
Delete1) If BC and AD meet at X, then Tr. CDX is isoceles (40-40-100)
2) If AB, DC meet at Y then Tr. AYD is isoceles 80-20-80
3) The diagonals of ABCD cut at an angle of 70
