Solution
The problem in the image asks to calculate the angle , given the following conditions:
- The triangle is divided into two smaller triangles by the height.
- , meaning that triangle is isosceles.
- , meaning that is the midpoint of .
- The angle , indicating that angle and are congruent.
- The angle .
Let me proceed with solving the problem.
Step 1: Set up the known angles and relationships.
- Since is isosceles, we know that .
- The problem states is the midpoint, so triangles and are congruent.
- .
Step 2: Calculate angle .
Since the sum of angles in a triangle is always , we can calculate and use symmetry of the isosceles triangle to find angle .
I'll now calculate the angles.The angle , which represents , is .

- Can you prove that the sum of angles in any triangle is always ?
- How would the solution change if the given angle were different?
Tip: Always check the properties of triangles (e.g., isosceles, equilateral) as they often simplify complex angle calculations.
