  2. AB=BCtan40
    BD=ABtan20
    EB=BCtan10
    tan(EDB)=tan10/(tan20.tan40)=tan30
    x=70-30=40

  3. angle B + angle A + angle C =180
    90 + 50 + angle ECA + 10 = 180
    hence, angle ECA = 30
    now,
    angle A + angle ECA + angle AEC = 180
    50 + 30 + angle AEC = 180
    angle AEC = 100
    now,
    angle EAD + angle AED + angle ADE = 180
    20+100+angle ADE(or x)= 180
    hence,
    x = 60

  6. Set A be Centre,
    CED=30/2=15
    CED+x=60
    x=45

  8. Let circumcircle of EDC meet DA at F.
    Triangle FEC forms a trigonometric cevian model.
    From angle C in clockwise, we get 60-x,10,10,100,30,x-30.
    This is the classical 10-10-10-20-100-30 problem which makes x-30=10 => x=40.

  9. Pure Geometry proof

    AD, CE meet at F. Since AF = CF let MF the perpendicular bisector of AC meet BC at G and AB extended at H

    Now BC is the perpendicular bisector of EH and since it therefore bisects < ECH and DF bisects < CFH (= 120) D is the incentre of Tr. FHC

    Hence <DHG = 20, < BDH = BDE = 30 and so x must be < 40 since < ADB = 70

  10. Problem 421
    The circle (D, DC) intersects the AC, CE in K, L respectively then <LDK=2<LCK=2.30=60.So
    Triangle KDL is equilateral .Is <DLC=<DCL then <ELK=<EAK=50 so AKEL is cyclic. But <KLD=60=
    2.30=2<KAD therefore the K is circumcenter the triangle AKD so LA=LK=LD=KD=DC and
    <LAK=<LKA=50+30=80 or <LKE=<LAE=80-50=30.Then triangle LKE=triangle DKE so LE=ED and
    <EDL=10,so <EDA=<BDA-<BDE=70-(20+10)=40.
    Αnother solution the circle (E,EA) similar.

  11. It is special case of more general problem: (30-2t, 120-3t, 60-2t, 30) where t = 10.

    The problem is related with following cevian problem.
    It can be generated by taking P on EC where AEDP concyclic.
