From the condition that C is not in Γ 2 and D is not in Γ 1 , we get that E is on the opposite side of C D as compared to B . From the alternate segment theorem, ∠ D C E = ∠ A C E = ∠ A B C , and ∠ C D E = ∠ A D E = ∠ A B D . Thus ∠ C E D = 1 8 0 ∘ − ∠ C D E − ∠ D C E = 1 8 0 ∘ − ∠ A B D − ∠ A B C = 1 8 0 ∘ − ∠ C B D = 1 8 0 ∘ − 7 1 ∘ = 1 0 9 ∘
