Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

  • In right angled triangle BCE, mCBE=x-5°, mBEC=3x-5°.

In right angled triangle BCE,

mCBE+mBEC+mBCE=180°              x-5°+3x-5°+90°=180°                                                   4x=100°                                                     x=25°

Therefore,

 mBEC=3×25-5°                 =70°

Hence, the measure of BEC is 70°.
