Assuming angle ABC is 55 the answer will be 90+(180-55)=215

Is it C??

Since both statements would be required to measure the angle BCD

Let \(\angle BCD = x\)

Using statement 1:

From the new diagram attached, you can extend BC to intersect DE at a new point, say F.
The angle formed, i.e \(\angle CFD = \angle ABC = y\)

In triangle CFD, \(\angle CDF = 90 \angle FCD = 180 -x\)
180 - x + y + 90 = 180
x-y = 90

Hence 1 is insufficient.

Statement 2 gives us \(\angle ABC\) but we dont know if AB and DE are ||

Using 1 and 2, we can find \(\angle BCD = 180 - 35 = 145\)
