In parallelogram ABCD, point K is marked on the BC side so that BK = AB. Find the angle ВСD, if the angle КAD = 20 °.

Since, by condition, AB = ВK, then the triangle AВK is isosceles, which means the angle ВAK = ВKA.

Angle KAD = ВKA as criss-crossing angles when crossing parallel straight lines ВС and АС secant to AK. Then the angle ВAK = ВKA = KAD = 20.

Determine the value of the angle ABC.

Angle ABC = 180 – 20 – 20 = 140, then angle ABC = 180 – 140 = 40.

Since the opposite angles of the parallelogram are equal, the ВСD angle = VAD = 40.

Answer: The ВСD angle is 40.
