The sum of the four internal angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.
Since ∠A is 60°, that leaves 300° for the sum of angles
∠A, ∠BCD, and ∠D.  Therefore they are 100° each since they are equal.



∠A and ∠CED are equal since they are corresponding angles when 
transversal AD cuts parallel lines AB and CE, and so ∠CED = 60°.



The three interior angles of ᐃECD must have sum 180°, and
since ∠CED = 60° and ∠D = 100°, they sum to 160°, leaving
∠ECD = 20°
