. We're sorry about the hassle.
We note that in △ A C D , the two sides about ∠ A has a ratio of A D : A C = 4 : 6 = 2 : 3 . In △ A B C , the two sides about ∠ A also has ratio of A C : A B = 6 : 9 = 2 : 3 . Therefore, the two triangles are similar, and ∠ A B C = ∠ A C D = 3 5 ∘ . Since △ B D E is isosceles, ∠ D E B = D B E = 3 5 ∘ and ∠ E D B = 1 8 0 ∘ − 2 × 3 5 ∘ = 1 1 0 ∘ .
