Step-by-step solution

Fist let's look at triangle ABC, remembering that the sum of angles in a triangle equals 180 degrees.

In triangle ABC, we are given two angles: 40 and 90.

Therefore, we can calculate BAC as follows:

BAC=1809040 BAC=180-90-40

BAC=50 BAC=50

Now let's look at angle E, noting that it is greater than 90 degrees.

Therefore:

E>BAC E > BAC
