Math Problem Statement
Exercise 5. In a triangle ABC, let a point P be located on side AC such that applies: 3 |AP| = |ACI. Furthermore, | BPC\ = 60° and | ACB = 75°. Find the size of the angle BAC.
Solution
Let's analyze the given problem step-by-step:
Given:
- Triangle with point on side
We are asked to find .
First, let's assign variables to the lengths:
- Let
- Then
This makes .
Since , we can use the properties of triangle geometry and the given angles to determine .
Step-by-step approach:
-
Use the given angles:
- Let and
-
Use the triangle angle sum property:
- In , we have
- We know , so: [ 60^\circ + \alpha + \beta = 180^\circ \implies \alpha +
