1) In triangle ABC, [ADE] = 4, [ABE] = 14, and [CDE] = 6. Compute [BCE].

2) In the diagram, WY = 12, XZ = 10, [AWX] = 15, and [AYZ] = 8. Find [AXY]

$$\text{In the diagram below, we have } \overline{AB}\parallel\overline{CD}, EF = FG, \angle AEG = x^\circ, \text{and } \angle BEF = 102^\circ + x^\circ. \text{Find the value of x.}$$

1)

ADE and CDE share the same height, but different bases, given the ratio of areas being 4 : 6 (ADE : CDE), we can conclude that the ratio of AD:DC is 2:3

Also, the area of triangle ABD is 14 + 4 = 18 units squared.

The triangles ABD and BCD share the same height, so the ratio of their areas is the ratio of AD:DC, which is 2:3, then we can conclude that triangle BCD has area of 27 units squared. Subtracting 6, the area of triangle BCE is 21 units squared.

2)

Area of triangle AXY now has area "x".

Since all the triangles in the image share the same height (the perpendicular from apex A to WZ), then the ratio of the triangles' areas are the ratio of their bases. WY/XZ = 12/10, so the areas of triangles AWY/AXZ = WY/XZ = 12/10.

Substituting in, we have 15 + x / 8 + x = 12/10

150 + 10x = 96 + 12x

54 = 2x

x = 27. Triangle AXY has area of 27 units squared.

3) In the diagram below, we have.....

Since AB || CD, by alternate interior angles, angle AEG = angle EGF = x*.

Also by alternate interior angles, angle BEF = angle EFG = 102 + x*.

Also EF = FG so the triangle within the two parallel lines is isosceles, by Isosceles Triangle Theorem, angle GEF = angle EGF = x.

The interior angle sum of a triangle is 180 degrees, so 102 + x + x + x = 180. 3x = 78, x = 26.

4) If angle DCB is x, then angle BDC is also x.

Angle DBC = 180 - 2x

Angle DBE = x - (180 - 2x) = 3x - 180 degrees

Angle EDB = 3x - 180

Angle BED = 180 - 2(3x - 180) = 180 - 6x + 360 = 540 - 6x degrees

Angle AED = 180 - (540 - 6x) = 6x - 360 degrees

Angle A = 6x - 360 degrees.

Angle B + Angle C + Angle A = 180

x + x + 6x - 360 = 180

8x = 540

Angle BAC = 67.5 degrees
