ABCDEis a regular pentagon and DEFGis a square. Find the measures of ∠EAF,∠AFD and ∠DAF.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The measures of ∠EAF,∠AFD and∠DAF is9°,54° and 45°respectively.

Step by step solution

01

– Description of step.

AsABCDE is a regular pentagon and DEFGis a square then, and all the interior angles of a regular pentagon is 108 degrees then, role="math" localid="1648817128078" AB=BC=CD=DE=AE=EF=FG=DG.

All angles of a square are 90 degrees then ∠ABC=∠BCD=∠CDE=∠DEA=∠EAB=108°, ∠DEF=∠EFG=∠FGD=∠GDA=90°.

02

– Description of step.

ConsiderΔAEF in which AE=EF, thereforeΔAEF is an isosceles triangle, then m∠EAF=m∠EFA.

Then,

m∠AEF+m∠AED+m∠FED=360m∠AEF+108+90=360m∠AEF=360−198=162

03

– Description of step.

ConsiderΔAEF then by an angle sum theorem,

m∠AEF+m∠EFA+m∠EAF=180162+2m∠EAF=1802m∠EAF=18m∠EAF=9°

04

– Description of step.

∠AFDcan be written as∠AFD=∠EFA+EFD then

m∠AFD=m∠EFA+m∠EFD=9+45=54°

05

– Description of step.

Consider ΔAEDin which AE=ED, therefore ΔAEDis an isosceles triangle, then m∠DAE=m∠EDA.

Then by an angle sum theorem,

m∠DAE+m∠EDA+m∠AED=1802m∠DAE+108=1802m∠DAE=72m∠DAE=36°

06

– Description of step.

∠DAFcan be written as ∠DAF=∠DAE+∠EAFthen

m∠DAF=m∠DAE+m∠EAF=36+9=45°

Therefore, the measures of ∠EAF,∠AFDand ∠DAFis 9°,54°and 45°respectively.
