ABC is a triangle, BFC is a straight line and ∠DEF\angle DEF is a right angle.

  1. (a)

    Find ∠BEF\angle BEF.

  2. (b)

    Circle the words that describe AED and CDEF correctly in the following statements:

    AED ( is / is not ) an isosceles triangle and AD is equal to ( AE / ED ).

    CDEF ( is / is not ) is a trapezium and ED ( is / is not ) parallel to FC.

Worked solution

10(a)

1. Identify the angle between the vertical segment EF and the horizontal base BC.

Since base BCBC is horizontal and EFEF is a vertical segment, EFEF is perpendicular to BCBC.
Therefore, ∠EFB=90∘\angle EFB = 90^\circ.

2. Calculate $\angle BEF$ using the angle sum of triangle EFB.

In △EFB\triangle EFB:
∠BEF=180∘−∠EFB−∠EBF\angle BEF = 180^\circ - \angle EFB - \angle EBF
∠BEF=180∘−90∘−58∘=32∘\angle BEF = 180^\circ - 90^\circ - 58^\circ = 32^\circ

Answer

32∘32^\circ
