Answer:

m<ADE = 59°

Explanation:

Each angle of a rectangle = 90°

Therefore:

m<ABE + m<CBE = 90°

(4x + 15)° + (13x + 7)° = 90°

Solve for x

4x + 15 + 13x + 7 = 90

17x + 22 = 90

17x = 90 - 22

17x = 68

x = 68/17

x = 4

✔️Opposite sides (AB and DC) of the rectangle are parallel, therefore:

m<ADE = m<CBE

m<ADE = (13x + 7)° (Substitution)

Plug in the value of x

m<ADE = 13(4) + 7

m<ADE = 52 + 7

m<ADE = 59°
