Calculate Angle A in a Quadrilateral with Parallel Sides and Diagonals

Angles ABC and DCB are alternate angles and equal to 45.

Angles ACB and DBC are alternate angles and equal to 45.

That is, angles B and C together equal 90 degrees.

Now we can calculate angle A, since we know that the sum of the angles of a square is 360:

$360-90-90-90=90$
