SOLUTION:

Case: Deductive reasoning.

Method:

Because the blades are equally spaced and are right-angles tied at point O.

The following pairs are parallel.


\begin{gathered} AB\parallel EF \\ CD\parallel GH \end{gathered}

Because these pairs are parallel,


\hat{OAB}=\hat{OEF}\lbrace Alternate\text{ }angles\text{ }are\text{ }equal\text{ }to\text{ }each\text{ }other\rbrace

We can deduce from here that:


m\angle A=m\angle E
