Answer:
Hey friend here is your answer,
since ABCD is a square , so ADC = BCD = 90 °
since DEC is an equilateral triangle , EDC = ECD = 60°
Now, EDA=EDC+ ADC= 150°
in triangle ADE and BCE,
AD = BC ( sides of triangle)
EDA =ECB ( proved above)
ED= EC ( sides of equilateral triangle are equal)
therefore, triangle ADE is congruent to triangle BCE ( by C.P.C.T)
so, AE = BC ( by C.P.C.T)
since ABCD is a square, AB= BC= CD = AD......(1)
sil CDE is an equilateral triangle, so CD= DE=AC...(2)
from (1) and (2) we have,
AB=BC=AD=CD= DE=EC ........(3)
In triangle DAE,
AD= DE (from equation 3)
DEA = DAE ( angle opposite to equal sides are equal)
In triangle DAE,
ADE+DAE+DEA= 180° ( angle sum property)
150° +2DEA = 180°
so, DEA = DAE = 15°
