$110^{\circ}$

According to the questation we draw the diagram. we have to find out \(\angle BFC\)

Now \(\angle BEC\) = \(\angle BDC\) =\(90^{\circ}\) (as they are inscribed in a semicircle)

$\angle A C B=40^{\circ} .$ Therefore we can say that \(\angle ABC=70^{\circ}\) (as $\triangle A B C$ be an isosceles triangle with $B C=A C$)

Can you find out the value of $\angle B F C ?$

Now can you finish the problem?

As \(\angle ABC=70^{\circ}\) and \(\angle BEC=90^{\circ}\) Therefore $\angle E C B=20^{\circ}$( as sum of the angles of a triangle is\( 180^{\circ}\)

Similarly $\angle D B C=50^{\circ}$

Now Can you finish the Problem?

Now $\angle B D C+\angle D C B+\angle D B C=180^{\circ} \Longrightarrow 90^{\circ}+40^{\circ}+\angle D B C=180^{\circ} \Longrightarrow \angle D B C$=$50^{\circ}$

$\angle B E C+\angle E B C+\angle E C B=180^{\circ} \Longrightarrow 90^{\circ}+70^{\circ}+\angle E C B=180^{\circ} \Rightarrow \angle E C B$=$20^{\circ}$

we take triangle $B F C$, and find $\angle B F C=180^{\circ}-50^{\circ}-20^{\circ}=110^{\circ}$
