Q. 2929 In the figure, ABCD A B C D is a parallelogram and CDE C D E is a triangle. EDA=52 \angle E D A=52^{\circ} and BCE=19 \angle B C E=19^{\circ} . Find DEC \angle D E C .
  1. Identify Relationship: Identify the relationship between angles in a parallelogram; opposite angles are equal.
  2. Angle Equality in Parallelogram: Since ABCDABCD is a parallelogram, angle ABCABC equals angle CDACDA.
  3. Calculate Angle CDA: Angle CDA is supplementary to angle EDA because they are consecutive angles in a parallelogram, so angle CDA =18052=128= 180^\circ - 52^\circ = 128^\circ.
  4. Calculate Angle DEC: In triangle CDE, angles CDE and EDA are supplementary to angle DEC, so angle DEC = 180angle CDEangle EDA.180^\circ - \text{angle CDE} - \text{angle EDA}.
  5. Find Angle CDECDE: But we need to find angle CDECDE first, which is equal to angle BCEBCE since they are alternate interior angles created by a transversal cutting parallel lines BCBC and DEDE.
  6. Substitute and Calculate DEC: So, angle CDE=CDE = angle BCE=19BCE = 19^\circ.
  7. Substitute and Calculate DEC: So, angle CDE=BCE=19°CDE = BCE = 19°.Now we can find angle DECDEC by substituting the values we have: angle DEC=180°128°19°=33°DEC = 180° - 128° - 19° = 33°.
