Part B
Describe two different ways you could find measure of angle CFD. What is the measure of this angle?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Part A

Since, all angle formed at point F lie on a straight line CE.

Therefore, sum of angles ∠AFE, ∠AFB, ∠CFB will be 180°.

(7x + 4) + (8x + 6) + (6x + 2) = 180

21x + 12 = 180

21x = 168

x = 8

Part B

Two lines CD and AE intersect each other at point F.

Therefore, ∠AFE ≅ ∠DFC [Vertically opposite angles]

m∠CFD = (7x + 4)°

= 7(8) + 4

= 60°

Since, all angles formed at point F on a straight line AD are linear angles,

m∠AFB + m∠CFB + m∠CFD = 180°

(8x + 6) + (6x + 2) + m∠CFD = 180°

14x + 8 + m∠CFD = 180

m∠CFD = 172 - 14x

= 172 - 14(8)

= 172 - 112

= 60°
