Math Problem Statement

calculate ABC and give a reason for your answer

Solution

The image shows a problem asking to calculate angle ABC\angle ABC and provide a reason for the answer. Based on the image, I can see the following details:

  • The setup involves a triangle with points AA, BB, and CC.
  • There are marked angles 3030^\circ and 9090^\circ.
  • ABC\angle ABC is the angle we need to determine.

Analysis

The triangle depicted is a right-angled triangle, with B\angle B being 9090^\circ. In such a triangle:

  1. The sum of the angles in any triangle is 180180^\circ.
  2. Since one of the angles is 9090^\circ, the remaining two angles must sum to 9090^\circ.

Given:

  • BAC=30\angle BAC = 30^\circ
  • ABC=90\angle ABC = 90^\circ

To find ACB\angle ACB:

  • Use the fact that BAC+ABC+ACB=180\angle BAC + \angle ABC + \angle ACB = 180^\circ.

Substituting the known values:

30+90+ACB=18030^\circ + 90^\circ + \angle ACB = 180^\circ

ACB=180120=60\angle ACB = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ

Conclusion

The calculated ABC\angle ABC is 6060^\circ. The reason is that the angles in a triangle must sum to 180180^\circ.
