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
