Answer:
m∠CEB is 55°
Step-by-step explanation:
Since ∠ADE = 55°, and ∠ADE is half of ∠ADC because ED bisects ∠ADC. Bisect means to cut in half.
∠ADC = 110° because it is double of ∠ADE.
Since AB║CD and AD║BC, the two sets of parallel lines means this shape is a parallelogram. In parallelograms, <u>opposite angles have equal measures</u>.
∠ADC = ∠CBE = 110°
All quadrilaterals have a sum of angles 360°. Since ∠DCB = ∠BAD and we know two of these other angles are each 110°:
360° - 2(110°) = 2(∠DCB)
∠DCB = 140°/2
∠DCB = ∠BAD = 70°
∠DCB was bisected by EC, which makes each divided part half.
∠DCE = ∠BCE = (1/2)(∠DCB)
∠DCE = ∠BCE = (1/2)(70°)
∠DCE = ∠BCE = 35°
All triangles' angles sum to 180°.
In ΔBCE, ∠BCE = 35° and ∠CBE = 110°.
∠CEB = 180° - (∠BCE + ∠CBE)
∠CEB = 180° - (35° + 110°)
∠CEB = 55°
Therefore m∠CEB is 55°.
Answer:
8 -
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem you have to use the 45-45-90 triangle theorem and 30-60-90 theorem.
For 45-45-90, the isosceles sides = 4, so the hypotenuse of the 30-60-90 triangle is 4 times 2, which is 8. If x is 8, then since y is the side across from the 60 angle, y is . Since this really can't be simplified after y is subtracted from x, the final answer is just 8 -
