| − | As shown in the figure below, point <math>E</math> lies on the opposite half-plane determined by line <math>CD</math> from point <math>A</math> so that <math>\angle CDE = 110^\circ</math>. Point <math>F</math> lies on <math>\overline{AD}</math> so that <math>DE=DF</math>, and <math>ABCD</math> is a square. What is the degree measure of <math>\angle AFE</math>?

| − | By angle subtraction, we have <math>\angle ADE = 360^\circ - \angle ADC - \angle CDE = 160^\circ.</math>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note that <math>\triangle DEF</math> is isosceles, so <math>\angle EFD = \frac{180^\circ - \angle ADE}{2}=10^\circ.</math> Finally, we get <math>\angle AFE = 180^\circ - \angle EFD = \boxed{\textbf{(D) }170}</math> degrees.

| − | ==Solution 2 (same as Solution 1 but by another user)==
| |
| − | Since <math>\angle CDE=110^\circ</math> and <math>\angle ADC=90^\circ,</math> we know that <math>\angle FDE=360^\circ-110^\circ-90^\circ=160^\circ.</math> From the given, <math>DE=DF,</math> so that means <math>\triangle DEF</math> is isosceles. So, <math>\angle EFD=\left(\frac{180-160}{2}\right)^\circ=10^\circ.</math> Hence, <math>\angle AFE=180^\circ-10^\circ=170^\circ</math> since it is supplementary to <math>\angle EFD.</math> This gives us answer choice <math>\boxed{\textbf{(D)}}.</math>
