Answer:
m∠ABC = 119° and DC = 105 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
For better understanding of the solution see the attached figure of the trapezium ABCD :
m∠BCD = 61°
By using the property, Sum of interior opposite angles in a trapezium is supplementary ⇒ m∠BCD + m∠ABC = 180°
⇒ m∠ABC = 180° - 61°
⇒ m∠ABC = 119°
Now, to find length of DC,
Draw a perpendicular BE on CD ⇒ CD = DE + EC
AB = DE
⇒ DE = 80 feet
In ΔBEC, By using Pythagoras theorem
EC² = BC² - BE²
⇒ EC² = 65² - 60²
⇒ EC = 25 feet
Hence, DC = 80 + 25
= 105 feet
