1. Find $\angle BCD$ using angles at a point

∠BCE=90∘\angle BCE = 90^\circ (interior angle of a square)
∠BCD+∠BCE+reflex ∠DCE=360∘\angle BCD + \angle BCE + \text{reflex } \angle DCE = 360^\circ (angles at a point)
∠BCD+90∘+203∘=360∘\angle BCD + 90^\circ + 203^\circ = 360^\circ
∠BCD=360∘−293∘=67∘\angle BCD = 360^\circ - 293^\circ = 67^\circ

2. Find $\angle ABC$ using interior angles between parallel lines

Since AB∥DCAB \parallel DC (ABCD is a trapezium),
∠ABC+∠BCD=180∘\angle ABC + \angle BCD = 180^\circ (interior angles)
∠ABC=180∘−67∘=113∘\angle ABC = 180^\circ - 67^\circ = 113^\circ
