Step 1
Step 2
Answer
Given the ratio of angle DAE : angle EAF = 1 : 4, we can let angle DAE = y and angle EAF = 4y.
In triangle AEF, the sum of the angles must equal 180°:
This simplifies to:
Subtracting 60° from both sides gives:
Thus, dividing by 5 yields:
So, angle DAE = 24° and angle EAF = 96°. Angle x (which is angle EDF) can be found using the fact that triangle ABC is a kite and therefore angles DAE and EAF are supplementary:
Therefore, angle x = 84°.
