    Question

    In △ABC, BD ⟂ AC at D and ∠DBC = 25°. E is a point on BC such that ∠CAE = 80°. What is the measure of ∠AEB?

    A.

    140°

    B.

    139°

    C.

    146°

    D.

    145°

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    In △ABC, BD ⟂ AC at D

    ∠DBC = 25°

    E lies on BC

    ∠CAE = 80°

    Find ∠AEB.

    Formula Used:

    Sum of all interior angle of triangle = 1800 

    Exterior angle of triangle = sum of two opposite interior angle of triangle

    Solution: 

    In △BDC

    Since BD ⟂ AC, ∠CDB = 90°

    ∠DBC = 25°

    => ∠BCD = 180 − (90 + 25) = 65°

    Now, In △ACE

    ∠AEB = ∠EAC + ∠ACE = 80 + 65 = 145°
