Question

A horizontal line has points A , E, D. A line extends vertically from point E to point C and forms a right angle at C E D. A line extends up and to the left from point E to point B.
Which statement is true about the given information?

∠CED measures 45°.
∠CED measures 180°.
∠AEC measures 90°.
∠AEC measures 45°.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 90

Step-by-step explanation:

I just took the test.

Answer 2

Answer:

  ∠AEC measures 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle AED is a "straight angle", so angles AEC and CED are a linear pair. The angles of a linear pair are supplementary, so angle AEC is supplementary to right angle CED:

  ∠AEC = 180° -∠CED = 180° -90°

  ∠AEC = 90°
