Answer
(i) Given: AD = DB = DE
∠EAC = ∠FAC
∠F = 90°
Since BD = DE, the angles opposite to equal sides are also equal:
∠DBE = ∠CEA = x
Similarly, since DE = DA, we have:
∠DEA = ∠DAE = y
In Δ AEB, using the angle sum property:
⇒ ∠AEB + ∠ABE + ∠EAB = 180°
⇒ (x + y) + x + y = 180°
⇒ 2(x + y) = 180°
⇒ x + y =
⇒ x + y = 90°
⇒ ∠AEB = 90°
Hence, ∠AEB = 90°.
(ii) In Δ AEF, using the angle sum property:
⇒ ∠AEF + ∠AFE + ∠EAF = 180°
⇒ ∠AEF + 90° + ∠EAF = 180°
⇒ ∠AEF + ∠EAF = 180° - 90°
⇒ ∠AEF + ∠EAF = 90°
⇒ ∠AEF = 90° - ∠EAF ……………….(1)
Since, ∠AEB = ∠AEC = 90°,
⇒ ∠AEF + ∠FEC = 90°
Substituting Equation (1):
⇒ 90° - ∠EAF + ∠FEC = 90°
⇒ ∠EAF = ∠FEC ………………… (2)
From the figure,
∠FEC = ∠CEG
Using equation (2), we get:
⇒ ∠CEG = ∠EAF ………………..(3)
Since △ CEG has two equal angles, it is isosceles.
Hence, △ CEG is isosceles.
(iii) From equation (3), ∠CEG = ∠EAF.
Hence, ∠CEG = ∠EAF.
