a. If m∠1=35, findm∠ABC

b. Ifm∠1=k find m∠ABC.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The measures of∠ABC is 90.
  2. The measures of∠ABC is 90.

Step by step solution

01

Part a. Step 1. Apply isosceles triangle theorem.

If the two sides of a triangle are congruent then the angles opposite to those sides are congruent.

Consider ΔABD, in whichAD≅BD then by isosceles triangle theorem, ∠1≅∠2, that is

m∠1=m∠2=35.

02

Part a. Step 2. Apply exterior angle theorem.

The measure of exterior angle is equal to the sum of measure of two remote interior angles of a triangle.

From the given figure, it can be observed that ∠3is exterior angle and ∠1and∠2are remote exterior angles, such that,

m∠3=m∠1+m∠2=35+35=70

03

Part a. Step 3. Apply isosceles triangle theorem.

Consider ΔDBC, in whichDB≅DC then by isosceles triangle theorem, ∠4≅∠5, that is

m∠4=m∠5.

04

Part a. Step 4. Apply an angle sum theorem.

The sum of measures of all the angles of a triangle is 180.

Consider ΔDBC, such that,

m∠5+m∠4+m∠3=180m∠5+m∠5+70=1802m∠5=110m∠5=55

05

Part a. Step 5. Description of step.

Substitute 35 for m∠2and 55 for m∠5.

m∠ABC=m∠2+m∠5=35+55=90

Therefore, the measure of∠ABC is 90.

06

Part b. Step 1. Apply isosceles triangle theorem.

Consider ΔABD, in whichAD≅BD then by isosceles triangle theorem, ∠1≅∠2, that is

m∠1=m∠2=k.

07

Part b. Step 2. Apply exterior angle theorem.

From the given figure, it can be observed that ∠3is exterior angle and ∠1and∠2are remote exterior angles then by exterior angle theorem,

m∠3=m∠1+m∠2=k+k=2k

08

Part b. Step 3. Apply isosceles triangle theorem.

Consider ΔDBC, in whichDB≅DC then by isosceles triangle theorem, ∠4≅∠5, that is

m∠4=m∠5.

09

Part b. Step 4. Apply an angle sum theorem.

Consider ΔDBCthen by angle sum theorem,

m∠5+m∠4+m∠3=180m∠5+m∠5+2k=1802m∠5+2k=180m∠5+k=90m∠5=90−k

10

Part b. Step 5. Description of step.

Substitute kfor m∠2and 90−kfor m∠5.

m∠ABC=m∠2+m∠5=k+90−k=90

Therefore, the measure of∠ABC is 90.
