Answer 1

Answer:

a + b + c + d + e = 180.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can prove that a = angle CBA (vertically opposite angles are equal).

Now, since lines DE and CA are parallel, then it follows that c = angle ACE (alternate angles are equal). Similarly, b = angle CAD.

But notice that what we've just done is found the angles of the triangle CBA.

So the sum of the angles (a + b + c + d + e) is the sum of the angles of a triangle.

We then conclude that a + b + c + d + e = 180 degrees.
