The measure of $$\angle CED$$ is ------.


Correct Answer: 67.5

With the quadrant centred at $$A$$ of radius $$r_1$$ and the quadrant centred at $$D$$ of radius $$r_2$$ touching at $$B$$, requiring the midpoint $$F$$ of $$CE$$ to lie exactly on the second arc forces $$r_1 = r_2(\sqrt{2}-1)$$. Placing coordinates and computing the angle between $$EC$$ and $$ED$$ with this ratio gives $$\angle CED = 67.5^\circ$$.
