(N/A) In $\Delta APB$ and $\Delta CQD$,we have:
$1$. $\angle APB = \angle CQD = 90^{\circ}$ (Given,as $AP \perp BD$ and $CQ \perp BD$)
$2$. $AB = CD$ (Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)
$3$. $\angle ABP = \angle CDQ$ (Alternate interior angles,since $AB \parallel CD$ and $BD$ is a transversal)
Therefore,by the $AAS$ (Angle-Angle-Side) congruence criterion,we have:
$\Delta APB \cong \Delta CQD$

$ABCD$ is a trapezium such that $AB || CD$. If $\angle A = y + 60^{\circ}$,$\angle B = x + 60^{\circ}$,$\angle C = 3x - 40^{\circ}$ and $\angle D = 3y - 80^{\circ}$,then find the measure of each angle of $ABCD$.

In trapezium $ABCD$,$AB \parallel CD$. If $\angle A = 80^{\circ}$ and $\angle B = 75^{\circ}$,then find $\angle D$. (in $^{\circ}$)
