1. Problem Description

We are given a quadrilateral ABCD with the following angle measures: ABC=14\angle ABC = 14^{\circ}, CDA=31\angle CDA = 31^{\circ}, and DAB=62\angle DAB = 62^{\circ}. We need to find the size of the reflex angle BCD.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to find the interior angle BCD\angle BCD. We know that the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360360^{\circ}. Therefore,
ABC+BCD+CDA+DAB=360\angle ABC + \angle BCD + \angle CDA + \angle DAB = 360^{\circ}.
Substituting the given values, we have
14+BCD+31+62=36014^{\circ} + \angle BCD + 31^{\circ} + 62^{\circ} = 360^{\circ}
BCD+107=360\angle BCD + 107^{\circ} = 360^{\circ}
BCD=360107\angle BCD = 360^{\circ} - 107^{\circ}
BCD=253\angle BCD = 253^{\circ}.
However, the angle we calculated is the reflex angle BCD\angle BCD. To find the interior angle BCD\angle BCD, we should calculate 360360^{\circ} minus reflex angle.
Then we would have the following result:
BCD=360253\angle BCD = 360^{\circ} - 253^{\circ}
The problem is asking for the reflex angle BCD. Therefore,
The sum of angles in quadrilateral is
14+31+62+C=36014 + 31 + 62 + C = 360, where C is the interior angle.
Then 107+C=360107 + C = 360.
C=360107=253C = 360 - 107 = 253.
Then the reflex angle is 360(360107)=253360 - (360 - 107) = 253.

3. Final Answer

253
