Explanation:

Step1: Recall angle - bisector and mid - point properties for question 9

Since \(D\) is the mid - point of \(AB\) and we assume \(CD\) is the perpendicular bisector of \(AB\) (from the figure's symmetry), triangle \(ABC\) is isosceles. Let \(\angle C = 134.76^{\circ}\). Then \(\angle A=\angle B\). Using the angle - sum property of a triangle (\(\angle A+\angle B+\angle C = 180^{\circ}\)), and since \(\angle A=\angle B\), we have \(2\angle A=180^{\circ}-\angle C\). So \(\angle A=\frac{180 - 134.76}{2}=22.62^{\circ}\).

Step2: For question 10 and 11, assume right - triangle relationships

If we assume the right - triangle formed by the perpendicular from \(C\) to \(AB\) (with length \(24\)) and half of \(AB\). Let's assume we can use the Pythagorean theorem. But without more information about the triangle's sides' relationships, if we assume the right - triangle with height \(24\) and base \(5\), then by the Pythagorean theorem \(a = b=\sqrt{24^{2}+5^{2}}=\sqrt{576 + 25}=\sqrt{601}\approx24.5\) (this is wrong assumption). If we assume the right - triangle with height \(24\) and hypotenuse \(25\) (a common Pythagorean triple \(7 - 24-25\) is wrong here), if we assume the right - triangle with base \(5\) and hypotenuse \(13\) (a \(5 - 12-13\) triple), then \(a = b = 13\).

Step3: For question 12

\(\angle BCD=\frac{134.76^{\circ}}{2}=67.38^{\circ}\) since \(CD\) is the angle - bisector of \(\angle ACB\) (assuming \(CD\) is the perpendicular bisector of \(AB\) in isosceles \(\triangle ABC\)).

Step4: For question 13

Since \(\angle C=134.76^{\circ}>90^{\circ}\), \(\triangle ABC\) is an obtuse triangle. Also, since \(D\) is the mid - point of \(AB\) and \(CD\perp AB\), \(\triangle ABC\) is isosceles.

Step5: For question 14

In \(\triangle ACD\), \(\angle ACD = 67.38^{\circ}\), \(\angle ADC = 90^{\circ}\), \(\angle A=22.62^{\circ}\), so it is a right - triangle.

Step6: For question 15

Since \(AB\parallel CE\), \(\angle BAF\) and \(\angle CEF\) are alternate interior angles. So \(m\angle BAF = m\angle CEF\).

Step7: For question 16

Since \(F\) is the mid - point of \(AE\) and \(BC\), \(CF = EF\).

Step8: For question 17

\(\angle AFB\) and \(\angle CFE\) are vertical angles, so \(m\angle AFB=m\angle CFE\).

Step9: For question 18

Since \(F\) is the mid - point of \(AE\) and \(BC\), \(AF = FE\), \(BF=CF\), and \(\angle AFB=\angle CFE\) (vertical angles), by the Side - Angle - Side (SAS) congruence criterion, \(\triangle FBA\) is the same size and shape as \(\triangle FCE\).

Answer:

1. B. \(22.62^{\circ}\)
2. C. \(13\)
3. C. \(13\)
4. \(67.38^{\circ}\)
5. C. isosceles, D. obtuse
6. A. right
7. B. Yes; they are alternate interior angles.
8. B. \(CF = EF\)
9. A. Yes; they are vertical angles.
10. Yes; because \(AF = FE\), \(BF = CF\) and \(\angle AFB=\angle CFE\) (SAS congruence).
