Question

In △ABC, BD ⟂ AC at D and ∠DBC = 22°. E is a point on BC such that ∠CAE = 36°. What is the measure of ∠AEB?

A.

103°

B.

102°

C.

101°

D.

104°

Correct option is D

Given:

In △ABC, BD ⟂ AC at D and ∠DBC = 22°. E is a point on BC such that ∠CAE = 36°.

Formula Used:
Sum of angles in a △ = 180°.

Solution:

In △BDC, since BD ⟂ AC:
∠BDC = 90°.

We have, ∠DBC = 22°.

Then, ∠BDC + ∠DCB + ∠DBC = 180°
90° + ∠DCB + 22° = 180°
∠DCB = 180° − 112°
∠DCB = 68°.

In △AEC, ∠CAE = 36°.

Then, ∠AEB = ∠CAE + ∠DCB
∠AEB = 36° + 68°
∠AEB = 104°.
