Question
given that (overrightarrow{eb}) bisects (angle cea), which statements must be true? select three options
(square mangle cea = 90^{circ})
(square mangle cef=mangle cea + mangle bef)
(square mangle ceb = 2(mangle cea))
(squareangle cef) is a straight angle
(squareangle aef) is a right angle
Step 1: Analyze \(\angle CEA\)
Since \(EA\perp EC\) (right - angle symbol at \(E\)), by the definition of a right - angle, \(m\angle CEA=90^{\circ}\)
Step 2: Analyze \(\angle CEF\)
Points \(C\), \(E\), and \(F\) are collinear. By the definition of a straight angle (an angle whose measure is \(180^{\circ}\)), \(\angle CEF\) is a straight angle (\(m\angle CEF = 180^{\circ}\))
Step 3: Analyze \(\angle AEF\)
\(\angle AEF=\angle AEC+\angle CEF\). Since \(\angle AEC = 90^{\circ}\) and \(\angle CEF=180^{\circ}\) is wrong. Wait, no. Since \(EA\perp EC\) and \(EC\) and \(EF\) are opposite rays (\(\angle CEF = 180^{\circ}\)), \(\angle AEF=\angle AEC+\angle CEF\) is wrong. Wait, actually, \(\angle AEF\): \(EA\perp EC\) and \(EC\) and \(EF\) form a straight line. \(\angle AEF=\angle AEC+\angle CEF\) is wrong. Wait, no. \(\angle AEF\): \(EA\perp EC\) ( \(m\angle AEC = 90^{\circ}\)), and \(EC\) and \(EF\) are opposite rays (\(\angle CEF=180^{\circ}\)). But actually, \(\angle AEF\): \(EA\) and \(EF\) - since \(EA\perp EC\) and \(EC\) and \(EF\) are collinear, \(\angle AEF = 90^{\circ}\) (because \(\angle AEC+\angle CEF\) is wrong. Wait, no. \(\angle AEF\): Since \(EA\perp EC\) (\(m\angle AEC=90^{\circ}\)) and \(EC\) and \(EF\) are opposite rays (\(\angle CEF = 180^{\circ}\)), but actually, \(\angle AEF=\angle AEC+\angle CEF\) is wrong. Wait, no. Looking at the figure, \(EA\perp EC\) (right - angle at \(E\) between \(EA\) and \(EC\)), and \(EC\) and \(EF\) are a straight line. So \(\angle AEF\) is composed of \(\angle AEC\) ( \(90^{\circ}\)) and \(\angle CEF\) ( \(90^{\circ}\))? No. Wait, no. Wait, \(EA\perp EC\), and \(EC\) and \(EF\) are opposite rays. So \(\angle AEF = 90^{\circ}\) (because \(\angle AEC = 90^{\circ}\) and \(\angle CEF\) is a straight angle, but \(\angle AEF\) is adjacent to \(\angle AEC\) and \(\angle CEF\) in a way that \(\angle AEF=90^{\circ}\) (from the right - angle symbol in the figure).
For \(m\angle CEB = 2(m\angle CEA)\): If \(EB\) bisects \(\angle CEA\), then \(m\angle CEB=\frac{1}{2}m\angle CEA\) (since it's a bisector), so this is wrong.
For \(m\angle CEF=m\angle CEA + m\angle BEF\): There is no information to support this additive relationship in the way it's written. Since \(EB\) bisects \(\angle CEA\), but \(\angle CEF\) is a straight angle (\(180^{\circ}\)) and \(\angle CEA=90^{\circ}\), this equation \(m\angle CEF=m\angle CEA + m\angle BEF\) is not valid.
