1. **Problem Statement:** Given two parallelograms ABCD and ECBF, with \(\angle A = 54^\circ\) in ABCD and \(\angle B = 66^\circ\) in ECBF, find the value of \(\angle ECF\). 2. **Recall properties of parallelograms:** - Opposite angles are equal. - Adjacent angles are supplementary, meaning their sum is \(180^\circ\). 3. **Analyze parallelogram ABCD:** - Since \(\angle A = 54^\circ\), the opposite angle \(\angle C = 54^\circ\). - Adjacent angles \(\angle A + \angle B = 180^\circ\), so \(\angle B = 180^\circ - 54^\circ = 126^\circ\). - Similarly, \(\angle D = 126^\circ\). 4. **Analyze parallelogram ECBF:** - Given \(\angle B = 66^\circ\) in ECBF, the opposite angle \(\angle F = 66^\circ\). - Adjacent angles sum to \(180^\circ\), so \(\angle C = 180^\circ - 66^\circ = 114^\circ\). 5. **Find \(\angle ECF\):** - Point C is common to both parallelograms. - From ABCD, \(\angle C = 54^\circ\), from ECBF, \(\angle C = 114^\circ\). - The angle \(\angle ECF\) is the angle at C between points E and F in parallelogram ECBF, which is \(114^\circ\). **Final answer:** $$\boxed{66^\circ}$$ **Explanation:** The angle \(\angle ECF\) corresponds to the angle adjacent to \(\angle B = 66^\circ\) in parallelogram ECBF, which is \(66^\circ\).
