Solution

Given: AB CD ABE = 120° ECD = 100° BEC = x°Construction: FEG ABNow, since ABFEG and ABCD, FEGCD EFGABCDABE = BEG = 120° (alternate angles)or x°+y° = 120° ....(i)DCE = CEF = 100° (alternate angles)or x°+z° = 100° .....(ii)Also, x°+y°+z° = 180° (FEG is a straight line) ...(iii)Adding (i) and (ii):2x°+y°+z° = 220°or, x° +180° = 220° (substituting (iii))x° = 40° x = 40
