Please explain 어때요 / 어떻게. Thanks! I roughly know their differences but could someone please explain to me are these two words from the same root word? They are very similar to me :( Thank you!

They look similar, but they are totally different in meaning. 어때요? ☞ What do you think?, or What does it look like? (the base form is "어떻다") 어떻게? ☞ How? (어떠하다 ☞ 어떻다(contraction of "어떠하다") + 게 = 어떻게) 어떡해? ☞ What should I do? ("어떡해" is short for "어떻게 해") To sum up, 어떠하다 ☞ 어떻다 ☞ 어떻다 + 게 = 어떻게 ☞ 어떻게+해 ☞ 어떡해 어떠하다 ☞ 어떠하다 + 요 ☞ 어떠해요 ☞ 어때요 \^o^/
