Find the value of m in the diagram below.

  • A. \(40^0\)
  • B. \(50^0\)
  • C. \(130^0\)
  • D. \(140^0\)

Correct Answer: C. \(130^0\)

Explanation

angles

∠EHI = ∠DEH = 40° (alternate angles are equal)

∠BEH = 90° (given)

∠BED = 90° - 40° = 50°

∠BEF = 180° - 50° = 130° (sum of angles on a straight line is 180o)

∠BEF = ∠ABE = 130° (alternate angles are equal)

∴ m = 130°
