line segment CD is perpendicular to line segment AB at E. Point F is in the interior of angle CEB. the measure of angle CEF is 8 times the measure of angle FEB. find angle FEB.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's much better. try thinking of the sum of the angles CEF and CEB equal to 90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 8x+8=90???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try 8x + x = 90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

angle CEF is 8 times FEB. (i just realized I should have said CEF and FEB)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10 degrees sounds right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you understand how the equation was set up?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then where is point F??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1335711138219:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh.... ok THX

OpenStudy (anonymous):

obviously I did not do a very good job of representing angle FEB of being only 10 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THX
