Answer: Angle C is 76 degrees
===================================================
Step-by-step explanation:
Since AE = BE, we know that triangle ABE is isosceles with A = B as the congruent base angles (it might help to rotate the triangle 90 degrees clockwise). The congruent base angles are always opposite the congruent sides of an isosceles triangle.
Focus on triangle ABE. Let's find the missing angle E.
A+B+E = 180
55+55+E = 180
110+E = 180
E = 180-110
E = 70
So angle BEA = 70 degrees
This means angle DEC is also 70 degrees. Angles BEA and DEC are congruent vertical angles.
--------------------
Now focus on triangle DEC. We just found E = 70. The diagram shows D = 34. Use these items to find C
D+E+C = 180
34+70+C = 180
104+C = 180
C = 180-104
C = 76
Angle C is 76 degrees
