the answer is D. I just took the exam.

Step-by-step explanation:

(D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Triangle ABC is a right triangle. Point D is the midpoint of side AB and point E is the midpoint of side AC. The measure of angle ADE is 28°.

To prove: The measure of angle ECB is 62°.

Proof:

Step1. Segment DE joins the mid points of segments AB and AC (GIVEN).

Step 2. Segment DE is parallel to segment BC (MIDSEGMENT THEOREM)

Step3. Angle ECB is congruent to angle AED (CORRESPONDING ANGLES ARE CONGRUENT) that is ∠AED≅∠ACB.

Step 4. Measure of angle DAE is 90° (Definition of right angle)

Step 5.  Measure of angle ADE is 28° (Given)

Step 6. Thus, by triangle sum theorem, we have

∠DAE+∠ADE+∠AED=180°

∠AED=180-118

∠AED=62°

Step 7. Thus, by substitution, we have

∠AED≅∠ACB that is ∠ECB=62°

Hence proved.
