Math Problem Statement

Solve e)

Solution

To solve part e of the given problem, we need to find the value of angle xx in the triangle ABCABC. The diagram gives the following information:

  • BAC=x\angle BAC = x
  • ABC=40\angle ABC = 40^\circ
  • ACD=65\angle ACD = 65^\circ

Steps to Solve:

  1. Identify given angles:

    • ABC=40\angle ABC = 40^\circ
    • ACD=65\angle ACD = 65^\circ
    • BAC=x\angle BAC = x
  2. Determine the relationship between the angles: Since BCBC is a straight line, the angles at point CC form a linear pair. Hence: BCD+ACD=180\angle BCD + \angle ACD = 180^\circ

  3. Find ( \angle BCD: Given ACD=65\angle ACD = 65^\circ, we can calculate BCD\angle BCD as: BCD=18065=115\angle BCD = 180^\circ - 65^\circ = 115^\circ

  4. Sum of angles in triangle ABCABC: The sum of the angles in any triangle is always 180180^\circ. Hence for ABC\triangle ABC: BAC+ABC+BCA=180\angle BAC + \angle ABC + \angle BCA = 180^\circ Substituting the values we know: x+40+y=180x + 40^\circ + y = 180^\circ where yy is the unknown angle at CC.

  5. Calculate yy: Since angle y=BCA=BCD=115y = \angle BCA = \angle BCD = 115^\circ:

4. Solve for x:

( y + 40+ x= 180 \ 115 +40 +x= 180 \

 X= 180 -155= 25
