First, since angles in a triangle must add to 180°, we can see that the missing angle in the red triangle must be 180° - (x + 44)°

Simplify this measurement to get (136 - x)°

Finally, since AD is parallel to BC, we know that the two highlighted angles below must add to 180°.

So, we can write: (136 - x)° + 2x° + 3x° = 180°
Simplify: 136 + 4x = 180
Subtract 136 from both sides: : 4x = 44
Solve: x = 11

Our goal is to find the measurement of ∠ADC
Since ∠ADC = 3x°, we can replace x with 11 to get: ∠ADC = 3x° = 3(11)° = 33°
