Consider quadrilateral DECF.


As for any quadrilateral, the sum of its interior angles is 360°.


The angles D and C of this quadrilaterals are right angles;
their sum is  90° + 90° = 180°.


Hence, the sum of angles F and E of this quadrilateral is  360° - 180° = 180°.


Thus the angle CFD is the supplementary angle to angle E: ∠CFD = 180° - 57° = 123°.


But the angle BFD is the supplementary angle to the angle CFD.


So, we conclude that  ∠BFD = 180° - 123° = 57°.


ANSWER.  ∠BFD = 57°.
