Answer:

Using properties of parallelogram and angle sum property of a triangle in the figure as shown below in the attachment

In parallelogram ABCD, AC is a diagonal.

Given:  [tex]\angle ABC = 40^{\circ}[/tex] and [tex]\angle ACD= 57^{\circ}[/tex]

As, we know that opposite angles in parallelogram are equal.

therefore,

[tex]\angle ABC =\angle ADC= 40^{\circ}[/tex]

Now, in ΔADC

Sum of the measures of angles in a triangle is 180 degree.

[tex]\angle ACD+ \angle ADC+\angle DAC =180^{\circ}[/tex]

Substituting the values of [tex]\angle ADC= 40^{\circ}[/tex] and  [tex]\angle ACD= 57^{\circ}[/tex]  we have;

[tex]57^{\circ}+40^{\circ}+\angle DAC =180^{\circ}[/tex]

or

[tex]97^{\circ}+\angle DAC =180^{\circ}[/tex]

Subtract [tex]97^{\circ}[/tex] from both sides we get

[tex]\angle DAC =180 -97 =83^{\circ}[/tex]

Therefore, the measure of angle CAD is [tex]83^{\circ}[/tex].
