Math Problem Statement

Let ABCD be a convex quadrilateral in which angle BAC = 50 deg angle CAD = 60 deg , angle CBD = 30 deg & angle BDC = 25 deg . If E is a point of intersection of AC and BD. find angle AEB

Solution

We are given the following information:

  • BAC=50\angle BAC = 50^\circ
  • CAD=60\angle CAD = 60^\circ
  • CBD=30\angle CBD = 30^\circ
  • BDC=25\angle BDC = 25^\circ
  • EE is the point of intersection of diagonals ACAC and BDBD.

We need to find AEB\angle AEB.

Step 1: Use the Angle Sum Property in Triangle ABCABC

In triangle ABCABC, the sum of the angles is 180180^\circ. Therefore, ABC=180BACCBD\angle ABC = 180^\circ - \angle BAC - \angle CBD Substituting the given values: ABC=1805030=100\angle ABC = 180^\circ - 50^\circ - 30^\circ = 100^\circ

Step 2: Use the Angle Sum Property in Triangle BCDBCD

Similarly, in triangle BCDBCD, the sum of the angles is 180180^\circ. Therefore, BCD=180CBDBDC\angle BCD = 180^\circ - \angle CBD - \angle BDC Substituting the given values: BCD=1803025=125\angle BCD = 180^\circ - 30^\circ - 25^\circ = 125^\circ

Step 3: Apply the Exterior Angle Theorem

The Exterior Angle Theorem states that an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles. In this case, consider the exterior angle at EE in triangle AEBAEB.

Since AEB\angle AEB is the exterior angle to AEC\triangle AEC, it can be found by summing BAC\angle BAC and BDC\angle BDC. Therefore: AEB=BAC+BDC=50+25=75\angle AEB = \angle BAC + \angle BDC = 50^\circ + 25^\circ = 75^\circ

Conclusion:

The angle AEB\angle AEB is 7575^\circ.
