Problem
As shown in the figure below, point lies on the opposite half-plane determined by line
from point
so that
. Point
lies on
so that
, and
is a square. What is the degree measure of
?
Solution 1
By angle subtraction, we have Note that
is isosceles, so
Finally, we get
degrees.

Solution 2 (Extension)
We can extend to
, making
a right angle. It follows that
is
, as shown below.
Since
, we see that
. Thus,
degrees.
