Your notation is confusing. If AB and CD are line segments, then you should have said:

AB and CD intersect at E.

I will proceed under the assumption that is what you meant.

Angle BEC and angle DEA are vertical angles, hence have equal measure. Therefore:

Solve for

and then calculate the value of

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
