Math Problem Statement
given a triangle ABC, and a point P inside the triangle such that angle PAC is 40, angle PAB is 30, angle PCA is 20 and angle PCB is 10, what is the value of angle PBA
Solution
Given the conditions in the triangle with point inside the triangle, we need to find the measure of angle .
Problem Analysis:
Solution:
Let , which is what we need to find.
Step 1: Use the sum of angles around point
The angles , , , and are connected to the angles at point . The sum of angles around point inside the triangle is . This leads us to consider the sum of angles in smaller parts of triangle ABC that include point P.
Step 2: Finding angle
Step 3: Finding angle
Step 4: Using triangle sum for triangle PBC
In triangle , the sum of internal angles is:
Substituting the known values:
Simplify the equation:
Hence the measure is x = 120^\circ.
