$AB\Gamma$ is equilateral triangle of side $\alpha$ and $AD=BE=\frac{\alpha}{3}$. The measure of the angle $\ang \Gamma PE$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) is

A. $60^{\circ}$

B. $50^{\circ}$

C. $40^{\circ}$

D. $45^{\circ}$

E. $70^{\circ}$

Solution

Draw a segment $BF$ such that $BF = \frac{\alpha}{3}$. By symmetry we see the triangle in the middle is equilateral, so the measure of $\ang CPE = 60^{\circ} \ \mathrm{(A)}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg).
