Step 1: Analyze Triangle BDC
Identify known angles in the right-angled triangle $\triangle BDC$.
- Given $BD \perp AC$, meaning $\angle BDC = 90^\circ$.
- Given $\angle DBC = 40^\circ$.
- Calculate $\angle BCD$ using the angle sum property ($180^\circ$) for $\triangle BDC$: $\angle BCD = 180^\circ - 90^\circ - 40^\circ = 50^\circ$.
- Therefore, $\angle BCA = 50^\circ$.
Step 2: Analyze Triangle AEC
Use the known angle $\angle BCA$ and the given angle $\angle CAE$ in $\triangle AEC$.
- The angle $\angle ACE$ is the same as $\angle BCA$, so $\angle ACE = 50^\circ$.
- Given $\angle CAE = 37^\circ$.
- Calculate $\angle AEC$ using the angle sum property ($180^\circ$) for $\triangle AEC$: $\angle AEC = 180^\circ - (\angle CAE + \angle ACE) = 180^\circ - (37^\circ + 50^\circ) = 180^\circ - 87^\circ = 93^\circ$.
Step 3: Calculate Angle AEB
Determine $\angle AEB$ using the relationship between $\angle AEB$ and $\angle AEC$.
- The point E lies on the line segment BC.
- Angles $\angle AEB$ and $\angle AEC$ form a linear pair along the line BC at point E. They are supplementary angles.
- Thus, $\angle AEB + \angle AEC = 180^\circ$.
- Calculate $\angle AEB$: $\angle AEB = 180^\circ - \angle AEC = 180^\circ - 93^\circ = 87^\circ$.
Final Answer
The measure of angle $\angle AEB$ is $87^\circ$.
