Given: ΔABC, AB ≅ BC
BE− median of ΔABC
m∠ABE = 40°30'
Find: m∠ABC, m∠FEC

The median of the isosceles triangle ABC bisects the side AC, forming two
congruent triangles ΔBAE and ΔBEC.
Reasons:
Given parameters are;
In ΔABC
AB is congruent to BC; AB ≅ BC
A median of ΔABC = BE
m∠ABE = 40°30'
Required:
m∠ABC
Solution:
AB ≅ BC
∴ AB = BC, ∴ ΔABC is an isosceles triangle
∠BAE = ∠BCE base angles of an isosceles triangle ΔABC
Line BE bisects AC; definition of median line
AE = EC definition of bisected line
ΔBAE ≅ ΔBEC by Side-Angle-Side rule of congruency
∠ABE = ∠CBE by Congruent Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent, CPCTC
∠ABC = ∠ABE + ∠CBE by angle addition postulate
∴ ∠ABC = ∠ABE + ∠ABE = 2× ∠ABE by substitution property
m∠ABC = 2 × 40°30' = 81°
∠FEC = ∠BEA by vertical angle theorem
∠BEA = ∠BEC by CPCTC
∠BEA + ∠BEC = 180° by linear pair angles
∴ 2 × ∠BEA = 180°
[tex]\angle BEA = \dfrac{180^{\circ}}{2} = 90^{\circ}[/tex]
m∠FEC = m∠BEA = 90°
