Worked solution

12(a)

1. Identify the angles of the square and the equilateral triangle at vertex B

Since ABCDABCD is a square, ∠ABC=90∘\angle ABC = 90^\circ.
Since △ABE\triangle ABE is an equilateral triangle, ∠ABE=60∘\angle ABE = 60^\circ.

2. Calculate $\angle CBE$

From the figure's description, EE lies inside the square (as AEAE intersects the diagonal BDBD).
∠CBE=∠ABC−∠ABE\angle CBE = \angle ABC - \angle ABE
∠CBE=90∘−60∘=30∘\angle CBE = 90^\circ - 60^\circ = 30^\circ

Answer

30∘30^\circ
