publish date2023/05/24 21:26:00 GMT+10

Refer to the figure where ∠EBS ≅ ∠FEB

  1. What is the measure of ∠AET? (1)
  2. What is the measure of ∠AEF? (2)

Correct Answer

(1) 52
(2) 142

Explanation

  • EBS ≅ ∠CBQ because they are vertical angles, then m(∠EBS) = 38o
  • m(∠FEB) = 38o because ∠EBS ≅ ∠FEB, then their measures are equal
  • Since m(∠FEB) + m(∠TEF) + m(∠AET) = 180o
    • 38o + 90o + m(∠AET) = 180o
    • Then m(∠AET) = 180o - 90o - 38o = 52o
  • m(∠AEF) =  m(∠AET) + m(∠TEF) = 52o + 90o = 142o
