Math Problem Statement
in an isosceles acute-angled triangle ABC (AC=AB and AB>AC), the measure of the angle between the bisector of the interior angle at vertex B and the normal from the same vertex to the opposite side is 9 degrees. Determine the measures of the interior angles of that triangle
Solution
In this problem, you are tasked with determining the interior angles of an isosceles acute-angled triangle , where and , given that the angle between the bisector of angle and the normal (perpendicular) from vertex to side is .
Let us break down the problem step by step:
Step 1: Define the interior angles
- Let the angle at vertex be , which is unknown.
- Since (isosceles triangle), the base angles are equal, so .
Thus, the interior angles can be represented as:
Using the angle sum property of triangles:
A + 2\theta = 180^\circ \quad \text{(since the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180^\circ)}
This simplifies to:
Step 2: Bisector and normal relationship
Let’s denote:
- The bisector of angle as .
- The perpendicular from to side as .
The problem states that the angle between the bisector of angle and the normal from to is .
The bisector of divides into two equal parts. So, the angle between the bisector and the horizontal line (which coincides with ) is:
Thus, the angle between the bisector and the perpendicular is:
Step 3: Solve for
Now, we can set up the equation:
Multiplying both sides by 2:
This is impossible for the angle in a triangle. So, the angle should be subtrim10
