7. In the given figure, A, B, C, D, and E are points on the circumference of the circle. Line AB is parallel to line DC and line FAG is tangent to the circle at A. Angle GAB = 25∘25^\circ and angle ABC = 100∘100^\circ.

Part a· 3 steps

Determine the size of ∠BAC\angle BAC.

  1. Identify the cyclic quadrilateral ABCD.

    The sum of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral is 180∘180^\circ.

    ∠ADC+∠ABC=180∘\angle ADC + \angle ABC = 180^\circ

    Given ∠ABC=100∘\angle ABC = 100^\circ:

    ∠ADC+100∘=180∘\angle ADC + 100^\circ = 180^\circ ∠ADC=180∘−100∘\angle ADC = 180^\circ - 100^\circ ∠ADC=80∘\angle ADC = 80^\circ
  2. Apply the Tangent-Chord Theorem.

    The angle between the tangent FAG and chord AC (∠GAC\angle GAC) is equal to the angle in the alternate segment (∠ADC\angle ADC).

    ∠GAC=∠ADC\angle GAC = \angle ADC ∠GAC=80∘\angle GAC = 80^\circ
  3. From the figure, ∠GAC\angle GAC is the sum of ∠GAB\angle GAB and ∠BAC\angle BAC.

    ∠GAC=∠GAB+∠BAC\angle GAC = \angle GAB + \angle BAC

    Given ∠GAB=25∘\angle GAB = 25^\circ:

    80∘=25∘+∠BAC80^\circ = 25^\circ + \angle BAC ∠BAC=80∘−25∘\angle BAC = 80^\circ - 25^\circ ∠BAC=55∘\angle BAC = 55^\circ

    The size of ∠BAC\angle BAC is:

    55∘\boxed{55^\circ}

Part b

55∘55^\circ

Determine the size of ∠AED\angle AED.

  1. Use the property of parallel lines.

    Since AB is parallel to DC, and AC is a transversal, the alternate interior angles are equal.

    ∠BAC=∠ACD\angle BAC = \angle ACD

    From part (a), ∠BAC=55∘\angle BAC = 55^\circ:

    ∠ACD=55∘\angle ACD = 55^\circ
  2. Apply the property of angles subtended by the same arc.

    Angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are equal. Both ∠AED\angle AED and ∠ACD\angle ACD subtend arc AD.

    ∠AED=∠ACD\angle AED = \angle ACD ∠AED=55∘\angle AED = 55^\circ

    The size of ∠AED\angle AED is:

    55∘\boxed{55^\circ}
