Answer:

∠ EDC = 55°

Explanation:

Since Δ ADE is isosceles then the 2 base angles are congruent , then

∠ EDA =
(180-20)/(2) =
(160)/(2) = 80°

Similarly for Δ BCD

∠ CDB =
(180-90)/(2) =
(90)/(2) = 45°

The 3 angles on AB sum to 180° , that is

80° + ∠ EDC + 45° = 180°

∠ EDC + 125° = 180° ( subtract 125° from both sides )

∠ EDC = 55°
