A geometry problem by Ossama Ismail

Geometry Level 2

Point E E is chosen inside the triangle A B C ABC in such a way that B E D = E B D = 3 0 \angle BED = \angle EBD = 30^\circ and C D = B D CD = BD . Find the measure of H E G \angle HEG in degrees.


The answer is 90.

D B E = D E B = > E D = D B = C D , C D E = 18 0 ( 18 0 3 0 3 0 ) = 6 0 = > C D E \angle DBE=\angle DEB=>ED=DB=CD, \angle CDE=180^\circ-(180^\circ-30^\circ-30^\circ)=60^\circ=>\triangle CDE is equilateral = > C E D = 6 0 =>\angle CED=60^\circ .

H E G = C E B = C E D + D E B = 6 0 + 3 0 = 9 0 \angle HEG=\angle CEB=\angle CED+\angle DEB=60^\circ+30^\circ=90^\circ
