Quizplus · Accepted Answer

AE₁, AE₂ and AE₃ are parallel, so the sum of the angles in triangle AEF is 180 degrees. Therefore, angle AEF is 90 degrees. Since AE₁ is parallel to AE₃, angle AEF is congruent to angle AFE. Therefore, triangle AEF is an isosceles right triangle, and AE = EF. Since EF = 50 million, AE = 50 million. Therefore, Point A is 50 million + 400 million = 450 million.
