Math Problem Statement
Given a square ABCD with triangle AEF inside. Angle EAF is 45°, angle AFE is 70°, and we need to find angle AEF (denoted as X).
Solution
Given the image, we have a square with a triangle inside it. Here are the key details we can observe:
- is a square, so each internal angle is .
- In triangle :
- We need to find , which we'll denote as .
Using the property that the sum of the angles in a triangle is : Substitute the known angles: Subtract from both sides to find :
So, .
