Hi guys, can anyone show the explanation with a drawing? somehow I still don't get it :(

Please find my explanation:
Given, Arc AC=CF and AF is the diameter of the circle
So arc AC and CF each are 1/4th the circle.
Hence, Angle AOC corresponds to 90 degree
Line CO and AO both are radius of the circle.
Hence, Angle ACO=Angle CAO = 45 degree

SUM of (angle CAD , angle DAE , angle EAF)= Angle CAF
Given angle CAD = angle DAE = angle EAF

So, each of the angel will be Angle CAF/3 = 15 degree

From the parallel line properties we know that angle BDA = angle DAF
= angle DAE + angle EAF = 30 degree (B)

Hi Can you explain why CAF is 45 degrees ?

I solved it like this

Let angle CAD = angle DAE = angle EAF = X
So angle CAF = angle CFA = 3X

Connecting pt. C and pt. F
making Angle ACF = 90
So, angle CAF + angle CFA + angle ACF = 180
3X + 3X + 90 = 180
6X = 90
X = 15

And according to rules of parallel lines
angle BDA = angle DAF
We know that angle DAF = 2X = 30
So BDA = 30, C.
