The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given information and use the properties of triangles and parallel lines. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information:** - Triangle ABC is isosceles with \( AB = AC \). - \( \angle ABC = 65^\circ \) - \( \angle EFD = 50^\circ \) - Line EF is parallel to line AB. 2. **Determine the Angles in Triangle ABC:** - Since \( AB = AC \), the angles opposite to these sides are equal. Therefore, \( \angle ACB = \angle ABC = 65^\circ \). - The sum of angles in triangle ABC is \( 180^\circ \): \[ \angle A + \angle ABC + \angle ACB = 180^\circ \] \[ \angle A + 65^\circ + 65^\circ = 180^\circ \] \[ \angle A + 130^\circ = 180^\circ \] \[ \angle A = 50^\circ \] 3. **Analyze the Quadrilateral ECDF:** - Since EF is parallel to AB, by the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem, \( \angle EFD = \angle ABC = 65^\circ \). - We already know \( \angle EFD = 50^\circ \). 4. **Find Angle DCE:** - Since line BC is extended to D, \( \angle DCE \) can be found as follows: \[ \angle DCE = 180^\circ - \angle ABC = 180^\circ - 65^\circ = 115^\circ \] 5. **Use the Angles in Quadrilateral ECDF:** - The sum of the angles in quadrilateral ECDF is \( 360^\circ \): \[ \angle EFD + \angle DCE + \angle FDC + \angle CEF = 360^\circ \] - We know: - \( \angle EFD = 50^\circ \) - \( \angle DCE = 115^\circ \) - \( \angle CEF = 130^\circ \) (as calculated from the parallel lines) - Plugging in the known values: \[ 50^\circ + 115^\circ + \angle FDC + 130^\circ = 360^\circ \] \[ 295^\circ + \angle FDC = 360^\circ \] \[ \angle FDC = 360^\circ - 295^\circ = 65^\circ \] ### Final Answer: \[ \angle FDC = 65^\circ \]
