Question
In the given figure, AB || CD, $\angle\text{BAE}=65^\circ$ and $\angle\text{OEC}=20^\circ.$ Find $\angle\text{ECO}.$
✓
Answer
AB || CD and AE is the transversal.$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BAE}=\angle\text{DOE}$ (corresponding angles)
$\angle\text{DOE}=65^\circ$
Now, $\angle\text{DOE}+\angle\text{COE}=180^\circ$ (linear pair)$\Rightarrow65^\circ+\angle\text{COE}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{COE}=115^\circ$
In $\triangle\text{OCE},$ by angle sum property,$\angle\text{OEC}+\angle\text{ECO}+\angle\text{COE}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow20^\circ+\angle\text{ECO}+115^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ECO}=45^\circ$
