If you ignore the shaded region in the figure, you can see that the figure is actually made up of two triangles (ABC and BCD) both with base BC.

Angle ∠ABC and ∠BCD will determine where the points A and D end up. As such, there are infinite ways you can draw these triangles using the straight line BC as a base. The attached picture will show some of the possible ways to draw these triangles. Each of them will have different angles.

Therefore it is impossible to tell.
