Math Problem Statement

Find the angle x

Solution

To find the angle xx, let's analyze the given geometric figure step by step.

  1. Given Information:

    • ABC\triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB=ACAB = AC.
    • ABC=ACB=x\angle ABC = \angle ACB = x.
    • BAC=75\angle BAC = 75^\circ.
    • DD is a point on BCBC such that ADAD bisects BAC\angle BAC.
  2. Isosceles Triangle Property:

    • In an isosceles triangle, the base angles are equal.
    • Therefore, ABC=ACB=x\angle ABC = \angle ACB = x.
  3. Sum of Angles in ABC\triangle ABC:

    • The sum of angles in a triangle is 180180^\circ.
    • BAC+ABC+ACB=180\angle BAC + \angle ABC + \angle ACB = 180^\circ.
    • Given that BAC=75\angle BAC = 75^\circ and ABC=ACB=x\angle ABC = \angle ACB = x, we have: 75+x+x=18075^\circ + x + x = 180^\circ 75+2x=18075^\circ + 2x = 180^\circ 2x=180752x = 180^\circ - 75^\circ 2x=1052x = 105^\circ x=52.5x = 52.5^\circ

Therefore, the angle xx is 52.552.5^\circ.
