What is the measure of angle CED? There are two triangles labeled ABC and DCE with a common vertex C. In triangle ABC, angle BAC is labeled as p, and angle ABC is labeled as 70 degrees. In triangle DCE, angle CDE is labeled as 70 degrees.

is there a graph

430370:

yes hold up

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @430370 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) what do you think it could be

430370:

im not sure im stuck on it

jhonyy9:

use the congruency theorem of alternate exterior/interior angles - do you know this theorem ?

430370:

wdym?

430370:

im not rlly good at math..

jhonyy9:

|dw:1610559118387:dw| <1 = <2 by alternate interior congruenty theorem

jhonyy9:

@Laylalyssa

430370:

Thanks

jhonyy9:

can you solve it now ?

430370:

ill try

430370:

is it 60 degrees?

jhonyy9:

just look on my posted image and use it not really 60 - this is congruent with this given angle measure what you see there

430370:

ok

jhonyy9:

how many ?

430370:

p over 2, because Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DCE?

430370:

am i right or no?

430370:

thats the pic that it got for the test

430370:

im useing that too

jhonyy9:

no using the alternate interior congruenty theorem angle E is congruent angle B

430370:

im confused now

430370:

im thinking its ether A or B

430370:

A: p over 2, because Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DCE B: p + 70 degrees, because Triangle ABC is similar to triangle DCE

jhonyy9:

yes A or B bc angle A = angle B

430370:

yea

430370:

but im not sure which one to pick tho

jhonyy9:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @430370 but im not sure which one to pick tho \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) on what you think ?

430370:

im thinking its p + 70 degrees, because Triangle ABC is similar to triangle DCE

430370:

B

jhonyy9:

angle B has how many degree ?

430370:

70

jhonyy9:

exactly so in this way bc. angle B = angle E by this alternate int. angle theorem so angle E has 70 degree too

430370:

yeah

jhonyy9:

ok ?

jhonyy9:

questions ?

430370:

No Thanks for the help

jhonyy9:

anytime i m glad to help yw

430370:

:)

430370:
