Sqrt $ABCD$ is rotated $20^{\circ}$ clockwise about its center to obtain square $EFGH$, as shown below(Please help me add diagram and then remove this). What is the degree measure of $\angle EAB$?

$\text{(A)}\ 24^{\circ} \qquad \text{(B)}\ 35^{\circ} \qquad \text{(C)}\ 30^{\circ} \qquad \text{(D)}\ 32^{\circ} \qquad \text{(E)}\ 20^{\circ}$

Solution 1

First, let's call the center of both squares $I$. Then, $\angle{AIE} = 20$, and since $\overline{EI} = \overline{AI}$, $\angle{AEI} = \angle{EAI} = 80$. Then, we know that $AI$ bisects angle $\angle{DAB}$, so $\angle{BAI} = \angle{DAI} = 45$. Subtracting $45$ from $80$, we get $\boxed{35 \text{B}}$
