Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
∠BAD = 118º
∠ACB = 80º
CD = AC (so ΔACD is isosceles)
Solution:
Step 1: Use the exterior angle theorem in ΔACD
Since ΔACD is isosceles, we have:
⇒ ∠CAD = ∠CDA
From the exterior angle theorem:
∠ACB = ∠CAD + ∠CDA
Given ∠ACB = 80º, and since ∠CAD = ∠CDA:
⇒ 80º = 2∠CAD
⇒ ∠CAD = 40º
Step 2: Find ∠BAC using the exterior angle theorem
We are given ∠BAD = 118º. From the exterior angle theorem in ΔABC:
∠BAD = ∠BAC + ∠CAD
⇒ 118º = ∠BAC + 40º
⇒ ∠BAC = 118º - 40º = 78º
Step 3: Use the angle sum property in ΔABC
In ΔABC, the sum of interior angles is 180º:
∠BAC + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180º
Substitute the known values:
78º + ∠ABC + 80º = 180º
⇒ ∠ABC = 180º - 158º = 22º
∴ The value of ∠ABC is 22º.
