@Joshyface  Is there a diagram for this problem? Geometry is all about connecting pictures to algebra through the theorems. So, whenever a diagram is given or whenever you can draw a figure based on the information, do that. It is so helpful in getting a grip on the problem.

anonymous · Answer

no, there is no diagram- which is why it is even more confusing to me

directrix · Answer

Give me a few minutes to read and draw.

directrix · Answer

@Joshyface  Find the measure of angle E and we can wrap this up. Okay?
