Stuck on this hard geometry problem.

 

ABCD is a square.  Angle AFD = 70, angle FAE = 45.  Find angle AEF.

Let the side of the square be 4 inits.

 

DF = tan(20º) * 4  = 1.455880937

 

FC = 4 - DF = 2.544119063

 

BE = tan(25º) * 4 = 1.865230633

 

EC = 4 - BE = 2.134769367

 

tan(∠FEC) = FC / EC          ∠FEC = 50º

 

∠X = 180º - (65º + 50º) =  65º    indecision
