In equilateral triangle ΔDEF, X and Y are points on the side DE and DF respectively, such that DX = FY, EY and FX intersect at Z. The measure (in degrees) of ∠FZE is ? |
100° 120° 60° 180° |
120° |
ΔEFY ≅ ΔDFX [by SAS congruency] So, the three angles of these two triangles are the same. Let ∠YEF = θ ⇒ ∠DFX is also θ Now ∠EYF = 180° - (60° + θ) = 120° - θ Now, in ΔFYZ Exterior angle ∠FZY = (120° + θ) + θ = 120° |
