Math Problem Statement

In the below diagram, line BC is parallel to DE, and given that ∠ABC = 47° and ∠CAB = 105°, find ∠CAE.

Solution

To solve this problem, let's analyze the given information and the diagram:

Given:

  • BCDEBC \parallel DE (line BC is parallel to line DE)
  • ABC=47\angle ABC = 47^\circ
  • CAB=105\angle CAB = 105^\circ

To Find:

  • CAE\angle CAE

Solution:

  1. Using the Parallel Line Property: Since BCDEBC \parallel DE and ACAC acts as a transversal, the angles on either side of the transversal are corresponding. Thus:

    • ABC\angle ABC corresponds to CAE\angle CAE.
  2. Corresponding Angles:

    • CAE=ABC=47\angle CAE = \angle ABC = 47^\circ.

Thus, CAE=47\angle CAE = 47^\circ.

Would you like a deeper explanation or have any questions? Here are some related questions for practice:

  1. If DAE=105\angle DAE = 105^\circ, what is DAB\angle DAB?
  2. What would be the measure of ACD\angle ACD given CAB\angle CAB and BCDEBC \parallel DE?
  3. How do corresponding angles relate when two lines are parallel?
  4. If BCA\angle BCA is 2828^\circ, how does it affect BAE\angle BAE?
  5. What is the sum of the interior angles of triangle ABC?

Tip: Remember, corresponding angles are equal when a transversal intersects two parallel lines!
