Question

Save Work out the size of angle AED. b) Work out x

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 10°

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Since, opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary angles"

   Therefore, in cyclic quadrilateral ABDE,

   m∠ABD + m∠AED = 180°

   110° + m∠AED = 180°

   m∠AED = 180° - 110°

                 = 70°

b). AD = ED [Given]

   m∠EAD = m∠AED [Since, opposite angles of equal sides are equal in measure]

   m∠EAD = m∠AED = 70°

   By triangle sum theorem in ΔABD,

   m∠BAD + m∠ABD + m∠ADB = 180°

   m∠BAD + 110° + 40° = 180°

   m∠BAD = 180 - 150

                 = 30°

    m∠AEB = m∠AED + m∠DAB [By angles addition postulate]

    m∠AEB = 70° + 30°          

                  = 100°

    By triangle sum theorem in the large triangle,

    x° + m∠AEB + m∠EAB = 180°

    x° + 100° + 70° = 180°

    x = 180 - 170

    x = 10°
