Answer:


\large\boxed{\tt \angle BEC}

Explanation:


\textsf{We are asked for which angle is \underline{Vertical} to} \ \tt \angle DEA.


\large\underline{\textsf{What are Vertical Angles?}}


\textsf{Vertical Angles are 2 angles that are opposite from each other, and are formed}


\textsf{by the same intersecting lines. Vertical Angles also have to share a common Vertex.}


\textsf{*Vertical Angles are also congruent to each other.}


\large\underline{\textsf{What is a Vertex?}}


\textsf{A Vertex marks the point where 2 lines intersect. This is the point where angles}


\textsf{are formed.}


\large\underline{\textsf{Finding the Vertical Angle;}}


\textsf{Our primary focus should be} \ \tt \angle DEA. \ \textsf{Remember that Vertical Angles are primarily angles}


\textsf{opposite from each other. This only leaves one option which is} \ \tt \angle BEC. \ \textsf{Note how}


\textsf{both angles are opposite from each other, and they share a common vertex point.}


\textsf{Lastly, they are formed by the same intersecting lines, which guarantees they're}


\textsf{vertical angles.}
