Math Problem Statement

Angles B, E, BAC, and DAE are marked with measures. Find the values of the missing angles.

Solution

Let's analyze the given problem step by step.

Known Angles:

  • BAC=20\angle BAC = 20^\circ
  • ABC=50\angle ABC = 50^\circ
  • ABE=20\angle ABE = 20^\circ
  • EAD=20\angle EAD = 20^\circ
  • E=30\angle E = 30^\circ

Objective:

Find the values of the missing angles, especially focusing on:

  1. B\angle B
  2. DAE\angle DAE

1. In ABC\triangle ABC:

  • Sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180180^\circ.
  • We already know ABC=50\angle ABC = 50^\circ and BAC=20\angle BAC = 20^\circ.

Thus, we can calculate: ACB=180(50+20)=110\angle ACB = 180^\circ - (50^\circ + 20^\circ) = 110^\circ

2. In ADE\triangle ADE:

  • EAD=20\angle EAD = 20^\circ (given) and E=30\angle E = 30^\circ (given).
  • We can find ADE\angle ADE using the sum of the angles in a triangle:

ADE=180(20+30)=130\angle ADE = 180^\circ - (20^\circ + 30^\circ) = 130^\circ

Now, all angles are determined:

  • ACB=110\angle ACB = 110^\circ
  • ADE=130\angle ADE = 130^\circ
