c    m angle E= 46 degrees,  m angle D=46 degrees

Answer:   m∠ E = 46°, m∠ S = 46°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle of elevation from point a to b ( angle E ) is the angle between the horizontal and the line from a to b .

And, Angle of depression from b to a ( angle S ) is the angle from the horizontal downward from b to a,

Since, all the horizontal lines are parallel to each other,

By the alternative interior angle theorem,

Angle of elevation from point a to b = Angle of depression from point b to a,

⇒ m ∠ E = m ∠ S  

⇒ 3x + 1 = 2(x+8)  ( Given )

⇒ 3x + 1 = 2x + 16

⇒ x = 15,

Hence, m∠ E = 3x + 1 = 45 + 1 = 46°

⇒ m∠S = 46°
