Math Problem Statement

ABCD adalah persegi. BCF dan CDE adalah segitiga sama sisi. Berapakah besar ∠EGF?

Solution

To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step:

Given:

  1. ABCDABCD is a square.
  2. BCF\triangle BCF and CDE\triangle CDE are equilateral triangles.
  3. The goal is to find the angle EGF\angle EGF.

Steps:

1. Analyze the square and equilateral triangles

  • In a square, all internal angles are 9090^\circ.
  • Each side of the square is equal in length, so: AB=BC=CD=DA.AB = BC = CD = DA.
  • In an equilateral triangle, all internal angles are 6060^\circ, and all sides are equal.

2. Consider points EE, FF, and GG:

  • Point EE lies on the extension of side CDCD, forming CDE\triangle CDE.
  • Point FF lies on the extension of side BCBC, forming BCF\triangle BCF.
  • GG is the intersection of the diagonals of BCF\triangle BCF and CDE\triangle CDE.

3. Interior angle at EGF\angle EGF:

To find EGF\angle EGF, observe the geometry:

  • Since BCF\triangle BCF and CDE\triangle CDE are equilateral, BCF=60\angle BCF = 60^\circ and CDE=60\angle CDE = 60^\circ.
  • The angle at EGF\angle EGF is influenced by the overlapping structure.

By using angle properties in this geometry:

  • The sum of angles around point GG gives: EGF=120.\angle EGF = 120^\circ.

Final Answer:

EGF=120.\angle EGF = 120^\circ.
