△EAD ∼ △BAC     (by Angle; Angle)    ((EA)/(BA)) = ((DA)/(CA)) ⇒ ((EA)/(DA)) = ((BA)/(CA))    △EAB ∼ △DAC   (by Side; Angle; Side)    ∠ECD = 80°  ∴ α = 50°

$$\bigtriangleup{EAD}\:\sim\:\bigtriangleup{BAC}\:\:\:\:\:\left({by}\:{Angle};\:{Angle}\right)\: \\ $$$$\:\frac{{EA}}{{BA}}\:=\:\frac{{DA}}{{CA}}\:\Rightarrow\:\frac{{EA}}{{DA}}\:=\:\frac{{BA}}{{CA}}\: \\ $$$$\:\bigtriangleup{EAB}\:\sim\:\bigtriangleup{DAC}\:\:\:\left({by}\:{Side};\:{Angle};\:{Side}\right)\: \\ $$$$\:\angle{ECD}\:=\:\mathrm{80}° \\ $$$$\therefore\:\alpha\:=\:\mathrm{50}° \\ $$
