Question

Find the measure of angle angle AEB in the figure below. Enter only the number. PLEASE HELP ASAP

Answer 1

Answer:

42°

Step-by-step explanation:

AD is a line

AEC and DEC are both 90°

AEB and CEB make up 90°

AEB+CEB=AEC substitute

AEB+48=90 Next use Subtraction property of equality

AEB=42

Hope this helps, if so please give me brainliest, it helps a lot. :)

Have a good day!

Answer 2

Answer:

∠AEB=42

Step-by-step explanation:

∠AEB and ∠BEC are inside of ∠AEC.

∠AEC is a right angle, Since ∠AEC and ∠CED are on a straight line, they must add to 180 degrees. ∠CED is a right angle (the little square in the corner tell us this), so ∠AEC must also be a right angle. This is because a right angle is 90 degrees (∠CED+∠AEC=180 --> 90+∠AEC=180 --> ∠AEC=90)

Therefore, the 2 angles (AEB and BEC) inside of ∠AEC must add to 90 degrees.

∠AEB+ ∠BEC= 90

We know that ∠BEC=48

∠AEB+48=90

We want to find out what ∠AEB is. We must get ∠AEB by itself. 48 is being added, and the inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 48 from both sides.

∠AEB+48-48=90-48

∠AEB=90-48

∠AEB=42
