| − | 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==
| |
| − | Note that <math>\angle ADC = 90</math>, meaning that the reflex of <math>\angle ADE = 90+110=200^\circ</math>, so <math>\angle ADE = 360-200=160^\circ</math>. It is given that <math>\triangle DEF</math> has two sides of equal length, so it is isosceles, thus having two congruent angles.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The sum of these two angles is <math>180-160=20^\circ</math>, so the measure of both <math>\angle DFE</math> and angle <math>\angle FED</math> is <math>10^\circ</math>. Since <math>\angle AFE</math> is the supplement to <math>\angle DFE</math>, and <math>\angle DFE = 10^\circ</math>, <math>\angle AFE = 180-10 = \boxed{\textbf{(D)}170}</math> degrees.
