Math Problem Statement

Solve for angle x and explain

Solution

Let's solve for the angle xx in the given triangle configuration.

Step 1: Analyze the Diagram

From the diagram:

  • We have a triangle ABCABC with point DD on side BCBC.
  • The angles in the diagram are marked as follows:
    • BAC=3x\angle BAC = 3x
    • ABC=2x\angle ABC = 2x
    • ACB=x\angle ACB = x
    • BDC=x\angle BDC = x

Step 2: Use the Triangle Angle Sum Property

In any triangle, the sum of the interior angles is 180180^\circ. For ABC\triangle ABC, we have: BAC+ABC+ACB=180\angle BAC + \angle ABC + \angle ACB = 180^\circ Substituting the given angles: 3x+2x+x=1803x + 2x + x = 180^\circ Simplifying, we get: 6x=1806x = 180^\circ x=30x = 30^\circ

Step 3: Verification of Angle xx

To ensure accuracy, consider the angle BDC=x\angle BDC = x, which also matches 3030^\circ based on the geometric properties and angle relationships.

Conclusion:

The angle xx is 3030^\circ.
