Question

In the diagram below AFB is congruent to EFD if EFD = 5x + 6, DFC = 19x - 15, and EFC = 17x + 19, find AFE

Answer 1

The angle m∠AFE is 128 degrees.

How to find angles?

∠AFB ≅ ∠EFD

∠EFD = 5x + 6

m∠DFC = (19x - 15)°

m∠EFC = (17x + 19)°

m∠AFE = ?

m∠AFB + m ∠EFD + m∠AFE = 180

Therefore,

5x + 6 + 5x + 6 + m∠AFE = 180

5x + 5x + 6 + 6 + m∠AFE = 180

10x + 12 + m∠AFE = 180

10x + m∠AFE = 180 - 12

10x + m∠AFE  = 168

m∠AFE = 168 - 10x

m∠EFC =  m ∠EFD + m∠DFC

17x + 19 = 5x + 6 + 19x - 15

17x - 5x - 19x = 6 - 15 - 19

-7x = - 28

x = 28 / 7

x = 4

Therefore,

m∠AFE = 168 - 10x

m∠AFE = 168 - 10(4)

m∠AFE = 168 - 40

m∠AFE = 128°

Therefore, the angle m∠AFE = 128°
