Three squares ABGH , BCFG , CDEF construct a rectangle ADEH. join A with G , A with F and A with E. what is the value of angle AGH + AFH + AEH in degree ? N.B:: please add detailed solution.


The answer is 90.

\angle AGH = 45 (DIAGONALS BISECT THE ANGLES = 90/2).....

tan \angle AFH= 1/2.....

tan \angle AEH=1/3......

tan[ \angle AFH+ \angle AEH]= tan \angle AFH+tan \angle AEH/1-tan \angle AFH tan \angle AEH} = 1 / 2 + 1 / 3 1 1 / 2 1 / 3 \frac{1/2+1/3}{1-1/2*1/3} = 5 / 6 5 / 6 \frac{5/6}{5/6} = 1........

So \angle AFH+ \angle AEH=45........

SO \angle AGH+ \angle AFH+ \angle AEH = 45 + 45 = 90 \boxed{90}

let angle AFH = x1 and angle AEH = x2 tan (x1 + x2) =[ {tan(x1) + tan(x2)} / {1 - tan(x1).tan(x2)} ] = [ { (1/2) + (1/3) } / { 1 - (1/2).(1/3) } ] = [ { (5/6) } / { (5/6 ) } ] = 1 ; now taking tan inverse on both sides
x1 + x2 = tan ^(-1) { 1} x1 + x2 = 45 and angle AGH is already 45 so AGH + AFH + AEH = 45+45 = 90
