Problem
As shown in the figure below, point 
lies on the opposite half-plane determined by line 
from point 
so that 
. Point 
lies on 
so that 
, and 
is a square. What is the degree measure of 
?
![[asy] size(6cm); pair A = (0,10); label("$A$", A, N); pair B = (0,0); label("$B$", B, S); pair C = (10,0); label("$C$", C, S); pair D = (10,10); label("$D$", D, SW); pair EE = (15,11.8); label("$E$", EE, N); pair F = (3,10); label("$F$", F, N); filldraw(D--arc(D,2.5,270,380)--cycle,lightgray); dot(A^^B^^C^^D^^EE^^F); draw(A--B--C--D--cycle); draw(D--EE--F--cycle); label("$110^\circ$", (15,9), SW); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/8/d/9/8d9ddc29373bd395df63dedaac4b8f1eb11201cd.png)
Solution 1
By angle subtraction, we have 
Note that 
is isosceles, so 
Finally, we get 
degrees.

Solution 2 (Extension)
We can extend to 
, making 
a right angle. It follows that 
is 
, as shown below.
![[asy] size(6cm); pair A = (0,10); label("$A$", A, N); pair B = (0,0); label("$B$", B, S); pair C = (10,0); label("$C$", C, S); pair D = (10,10); label("$D$", D, SW); pair EE = (15,11.8); label("$E$", EE, N); pair F = (3,10); label("$F$", F, N); pair G = (15,10); label("$G$", G, E); filldraw(D--arc(D,2.5,270,380)--cycle,lightgray); dot(A^^B^^C^^D^^EE^^F^^G); draw(A--B--C--D--G--cycle); draw(D--EE--F--cycle); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/9/1/a/91ab5d77b49f589e0ebd38313d10ed34ae5489a0.png)
Since 
, we see that 
. Thus, 
degrees.
