drop a perpendicular from from C on AD and try to solve

What do you mean?

Draw a line segment from A to C |dw:1411184160798:dw|

Triangle ABC and triangle ADC are congruent by the SSS postulate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did that. For C I got 25. For B I got 65.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so angle ABC = angle ADC by CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

B = 65 but C is not 25

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

let C be x degrees all 4 angles of any quadrilateral always add to 360 degrees so, 90+65+65+x = 360 x = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

140

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

C = 140 is correct
