Kẻ EF // AB // CD (F nằm cùng phía vs A so vs BD)
=> ∠DEF = 180° - ∠CDE = 180° - 40° = 140°
=> ∠BEF = 360° - ∠DEF - ∠BED = 360° - 70° - 140° = 150°
=> ∠ABE = 180° - ∠BEF = 180° - 150° = 30°
Kẻ tia Ex // AB // CD.
Vì AB // Ex \(\Rightarrow\widehat{ABE}=\widehat{E_1}\)
Vì CD // Ex \(\Rightarrow\widehat{CDE}=\widehat{E_2}\)
Mà \(\widehat{E_1}+\widehat{E_2}=\widehat{BED}=70^o\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\widehat{ABE}+\widehat{CDE}=70^o\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\widehat{ABE}+40^o=70^o\Leftrightarrow\widehat{ABE}=30^o\)
