Please, solve Q number 52

Dear Student

Given: The equilateral triangle AEB lies within the square ABCD. Let us write the value of ∠BEC
 
As, ABCD is a square and all sides of a square are equal.
AB = BC = CD = AD ----------[1]
 
Also, AEB is an equilateral triangle and all sides of an equilateral triangle are equal
 
 
AB = EA = EB [2]
 
From [1] and [2]
 
AB = BC = CD = AD = EA = EB [3]
 
 
Now,
 
 
AD = EA
 
 
⇒ ∠AED = ∠ADE [Angles opposite to equal sides are equal]
 
 
In ΔAED, By angle sum property
 
 
∠AED + ∠ADE + ∠EAD = 180°
 
 
⇒ ∠AED + ∠AED + (∠CAB - ∠EAB) = 180°
 
 
Now, ∠CAB = 90° [Angle in square] and
 
 
∠EAB = 60° [Angle in an equilateral triangle]
 
 
⇒ 2∠AED + 90° - 60° = 180°
 
 
⇒ 2∠AED = 150°
 
 
⇒ ∠AED = 75°
 
 
Similarly, ∠BEC = 75°
