Math Problem Statement
BC bisects <ABD. If m<ABC=4x and M<CBD=x+60 find m<ABD
Solution
Let's break down the problem:
-
BC bisects :
- This means .
-
Given values:
Since BC bisects , the two angles and are equal. Therefore:
Step 1: Solve for
Subtract from both sides:
Step 2: Find and
Substitute into the expressions for the angles:
Step 3: Calculate
Since is made up of and , we add these two angles together:
