(a) Prove that ∆ ABE ≡ ∆ CDE

In ∆ ABE and ∆ CDE:

BE = DE Given
^ ^
A=C Alternate <’s
^ ^
B=D Alternate <’s
^ ^
or E 1 = E 2 Vertically opp

∴ ∆ ABE ≡ ∆ CDE S, A, A

(b) Prove ∆ CDE ≡ ∆ FGE

In ∆ CDE and ∆ FGE:

CD = FG Given
DE = EG Given
^ ^
CED = FEG DG ⊥ CF
∴ ∆ CDE ≡ ∆ FGE R, H, S

(c) Prove that ∆ DEF ≡ ∆ DEI

In ∆ DEF and ∆ DEI:

EF = EI Given
DE = DE Common
^ ^
FED = IED DE ⊥ FI
∴ ∆ DEF ≡ ∆ DEI S, A, S

(d) Prove that Â1 = Â2

In ∆ ABD and ∆ ABC:

DB = CB Given
AB = AB Common
AD = AC Radii
∴ ∆ DEF ≡ ∆ DEI S, S, S

(b) Calculate the value of x.

5 x + 32° = 3x + 42°
5 x − 3x = 42° − 32°
2 x = 10°
x = 5°
