Question

I can't figure out how to do this problem. Find the measure of [] AED for M[] BEC = 36 degrees. Please I don't just want the answer I would love to know how to figure this out. Please help.

Answer 1

do you have a picture of the situation?

Answer 2

i hope this shows up

Answer 3

sorry its side wayslong story short it made a pretty long tripand wouldnt save right sorry

Answer 4

how are ∠ AED and ∠ BEC related ?

Answer 5

angle AED = 36 degrees because they're vertically opposite angles... to prove this,
find AEB = 180 -36 ..... because the sum of two supplementary angles is 180

Answer 6

do the same for angle AED and AEB and you'll get AED as 36

Answer 7

is that the solution you're looking for?

Answer 8

the only way i see them being related is because the angles are opposite of one another b and what stew.a.r.t. said made sense BUT its still confusing me. i understand that with some angles that the degree is going to be the same but each time i pick an answer that is the same as the degree of the angle in the problem it tells me its wrong.

Answer 9

the opposite angles are congruent ONLY and ONLY if the they are formed by the same pair of intersecting lines, in this case BD and AC .... otherwise, no

Answer 10

sorry this laptop is being very stupid and slow when it comes to my typing ( its old)

Answer 11

vertically opposite angles are equal

Answer 12

it just seems to me like the 36 degrees should be in one of the smaller angles not the big ones

Answer 13

maybe you've drawn it wrong then,,

Answer 14

i took a picture of it off my phone well of the computer screen

Answer 15

the diagram isn't to scale.

do you think the question is ?

"Find the measure of \(\angle AED\) for \(m\angle BEC=36°\)


[are those boxes meant to be angles ?]

Answer 16

what does the \(m\) mean,

Answer 17

measure of angle - m

Answer 18

nope they are boxes i just couldnt make an actual box with the symbols on my phone and i think it stands for measure.

Answer 19

what does it mean when the other one dosn't have an \(m\)

Answer 20

oh it has the word measure so , i get it now.

Answer 21

that im not sure what it means if the other one doesnt have an M

Answer 22

ill try and but i wont be able to give an answer. im doing a test for math i have online school for high school and with these tests, it wont tell you what you get right or wrong after finishing it

Answer 23

Theorem: Vertical angles are congruent.

<BEC and <AEC are vertical angles.

So, they are the same measure.

So, if m<BEC = 36, then m<AED = ? @KD19navy-brat

Answer 24

Their answer is correct. Logic is sound. The picture just is drawn that way to confuse you. Good work guys
