A right-angled trapezoid ABCD with right angles at B and C. Side AB is 10 cm, side CD is 25 cm, and base BC is 40 cm. The angle BAD is to be determined.

A right-angled trapezoid ABCD ABCD\,ABCD is shown. The vertices are labeled AAA (top-left), BBB (bottom-left), CCC (bottom-right), and DDD (top-right). The base BC BC\,BC is horizontal and labeled 40 cm. The side AB AB\,AB is vertical and labeled 10 cm. The side CD CD\,CD is vertical and labeled 25 cm. Right-angle symbols are shown at vertices B B\,B and CCC, indicating that AB⊥BC AB \perp BC\,AB⊥BC and CD⊥BCCD \perp BCCD⊥BC. The angle BAD BAD\,BAD is the interior angle at vertex A A\,A between sides AB AB\,AB and ADADAD.

Work out the size of angle BADBADBAD. Give your answer to 1 decimal place.
