1. Problem Description

We are given a diagram where ABC\angle ABC and BCD\angle BCD are right angles. We are also given that BAD=t\angle BAD = t and EDF=70\angle EDF = 70^\circ. The goal is to find the value of tt.

2. Solution Steps

Let's denote ADE\angle ADE as xx. Since EDF=70\angle EDF = 70^\circ, and ADE\angle ADE and EDF\angle EDF form a straight line, they are supplementary angles. Therefore, their sum is 180180^\circ.
x+70=180x + 70^\circ = 180^\circ
x=18070=110x = 180^\circ - 70^\circ = 110^\circ
So, ADE=110\angle ADE = 110^\circ.
Since ABC=90\angle ABC = 90^\circ and BCD=90\angle BCD = 90^\circ, ABAB is parallel to CDCD.
Therefore, ADC\angle ADC and BAD\angle BAD are supplementary angles.
t+ADC=180t + \angle ADC = 180^\circ
In quadrilateral ABCDABCD, the sum of the interior angles is 360360^\circ.
ABC+BCD+CDA+DAB=360\angle ABC + \angle BCD + \angle CDA + \angle DAB = 360^\circ
90+90+CDA+t=36090^\circ + 90^\circ + \angle CDA + t = 360^\circ
180+CDA+t=360180^\circ + \angle CDA + t = 360^\circ
CDA+t=180\angle CDA + t = 180^\circ
Thus CDA=180t\angle CDA = 180^\circ - t.
Since ADE\angle ADE is an exterior angle of CDA\angle CDA, we have:
ADE=110\angle ADE = 110^\circ
CDA+ADE=360\angle CDA + \angle ADE = 360^\circ
This is not helpful.
Since AB is parallel to CD, BAD+ADC=180\angle BAD + \angle ADC = 180^{\circ}. Then, ADC=180t\angle ADC = 180^{\circ} - t. Also, ADE=110\angle ADE = 110^{\circ}.
ADC+ADE+EDF=360\angle ADC + \angle ADE + \angle EDF = 360.
Consider the line CD extended to E.
Since AB is parallel to CD, we know that the two lines make the same angle with the transversal AD.
So the exterior angle at D which is ADE\angle ADE must be equal to 180t180 - t plus some correction.
So ADC=180t\angle ADC = 180 - t.
We know that the ADE\angle ADE is supplementary to 7070^{\circ} so ADE=110\angle ADE = 110^{\circ}. Also ADE\angle ADE and ADC\angle ADC make up CDE=180\angle CDE = 180^{\circ}.
So ADE+ADC=360\angle ADE + \angle ADC = 360 isn't correct.
Then CDA\angle CDA and ADE\angle ADE sum to a straight line, CDE\angle CDE, meaning that it must be 180180^{\circ}. Since ADE=110\angle ADE = 110^{\circ}, we have CDA=180110=70\angle CDA = 180^{\circ} - 110^{\circ} = 70^{\circ}.
Then t+70=180t + 70^{\circ} = 180^{\circ} since BAD\angle BAD and ADC\angle ADC are supplementary. Thus t=18070=110t = 180^{\circ} - 70^{\circ} = 110^{\circ}.
