The opposite+angles of a parallelogram are equal.

so, angles ABD and BCD+ are opposite angles
if m< ABD+=+83°, m < BCD+=83 °

            Tutor @MathLover1 is trying to solve the problem,  even without reading it,  so,  she is  WRONG.


In triangle ABD, you are given two angles, ABD and BDA.


Their sum is 83° + 34° = 117°.


Angle A (same as angle DAB) is, therefore, the supplementary angle to 117°,

so the measure of the angle DAB is 180° - 117° = 63°.


Angle  BCD is the opposite angle in parallelogram ABCD to the angle DAB, so its measure is 63°.    ANSWER
