The segments AE and DC intersect at point B, which is the midpoint of each of them. 1) Prove that triangle ABC = triangle EBD. 2) Find the angle A and angle C of triangle ABC, if the triangle in the triangle is angle D = 47 degrees, angle E = 42 degrees
1) Given:
segments AE and DC intersect at point B,
AB = BE,
CE = ED.
Prove that triangle ABC = triangle EBD.
Evidence:
Triangle ABC = triangle EBD on two sides and the angle between them, since AB = BE, CE = ED and angle AOC = angle DBE – they are vertical. Q.E.D;
2) Given:
segments AE and DC intersect at point B,
AB = BE,
CE = ED,
angle D = 47 degrees,
angle E = 42 degrees.
Find the degree measure of angle A and angle B.
Decision:
Since triangle ABC = triangle EBD, then angle A = angle D = 47 degrees, angle E = angle C = 42 degrees.
Answer: 47 degrees; 42 degrees.
