Question
given that e bisects ∠cea, which statements must be true? select three options.
□m∠cea = 90°
□m∠cef = m∠cea + m∠bef
□m∠ceb = 2(m∠cea)
□∠cef is a straight angle.
□∠aef is a right angle.
Step1: Recall angle - bisector definition
If a ray bisects an angle, it divides the angle into two equal - sized angles. But we have no information to say \(m\angle CEA = 90^{\circ}\).
Step2: Analyze angle - sum relationship
\(m\angle CEF=m\angle CEA + m\angle AEF\), not \(m\angle CEF=m\angle CEA + m\angle BEF\).
Step3: Analyze angle - bisector relationship
If \(EB\) bisects \(\angle CEA\), then \(m\angle CEA = 2m\angle CEB\), not \(m\angle CEB = 2m\angle CEA\).
Step4: Identify straight - angle
Since points \(C\), \(E\), and \(F\) are collinear, \(\angle CEF\) is a straight angle by the definition of a straight angle (an angle whose measure is \(180^{\circ}\)).
Step5: Identify right - angle
Since \(EA\perp EF\) (as indicated by the right - angle symbol at \(\angle AEF\)), \(\angle AEF\) is a right angle.
