Answer

In rhombus ABCD, all sides are equal:

AB = BC = CD = DA

Thus, alternate angles are equal:

ABCD is a rhombus. If ∠BCA = 35°, find ∠ADC. Special Types of Quadrilaterals, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 8.

∠DAC = ∠BCA

It is given that ∠BCA = 35°.

⇒ ∠DAC = ∠BCA = 35°

And, ∠DAC = ∠ACD [as AD = CD]

⇒ 35° = ∠ACD

In triangle ADC, sum of all the angles of triangles is 180°

⇒ ∠DAC + ∠ACD + ∠ADC = 180°

⇒ 35° + 35° + ∠ADC = 180°

⇒ 70° + ∠ADC = 180°

⇒ ∠ADC = 180° - 70°

⇒ ∠ADC = 110°

Hence, the value of ∠ADC is 110°.
