1. Find the interior angle $\angle\text{ABC}$ of the parallelogram.

Since ABCDABCD is a parallelogram, AD∥BCAD \parallel BC. Therefore, the consecutive interior angles sum to 180∘180^\circ.
∠ABC=180∘−∠DAB=180∘−112∘=68∘\angle\text{ABC} = 180^\circ - \angle\text{DAB} = 180^\circ - 112^\circ = 68^\circ

2. Find $\angle\text{BFC}$ using vertically opposite angles.

The line ABAB and the line CFECFE intersect at FF. Thus, ∠BFC\angle\text{BFC} and ∠AFE\angle\text{AFE} are vertically opposite angles.
∠BFC=∠AFE=95∘\angle\text{BFC} = \angle\text{AFE} = 95^\circ

3. Find $\angle\text{BCF}$ using the angle sum of $\triangle\text{BFC}$.

In △BFC\triangle\text{BFC}, the sum of angles is 180∘180^\circ.
∠BCF=180∘−∠BFC−∠FBC\angle\text{BCF} = 180^\circ - \angle\text{BFC} - \angle\text{FBC}
∠BCF=180∘−95∘−68∘=17∘\angle\text{BCF} = 180^\circ - 95^\circ - 68^\circ = 17^\circ
