Given:AB¯⊥BC¯;BD¯⊥AC¯

  1. If m∠C=22, find m∠ABD.
  2. If m∠C=23, findm∠ABD.
  3. Explain why m∠ABD always equalm∠C.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. Ifm∠C=22 then m∠ABD=22.

b.If m∠C=23then m∠ABD=23.

c.The two angles of a ΔABCand ΔABDare congruent thereforem∠ABDis always equal tom∠C.

Step by step solution

01

Part a. Step 1. Observe the figure and highlight ∠C and ∠ABD.

02

Part a. Step 2. Apply an angle sum theorem.

Consider a ΔABC, such that,

m∠CAB+m∠CBA+m∠BCA=180m∠CAB+90+22=180m∠CAB=180−112=68

03

Part a. Step 3. Apply an angle sum theorem.

Consider a ΔABD, such that,

m∠BAD+m∠ADB+m∠ABD=18068+90+m∠ABD=180m∠ABD=180−158=22

Therefore, ifm∠C=22 then m∠ABD=22.

04

Part b. Step 1. Observe the figure and highlight ∠C  and ∠ABD.

05

Part b. Step 2. Apply an angle sum theorem.

Consider a ΔABC, such that,

m∠CAB+m∠CBA+m∠BCA=180m∠CAB+90+23=180m∠CAB=180−113=67

06

Part b. Step 3. Apply an angle sum theorem.

Consider a ΔABD, such that,

m∠BAD+m∠ADB+m∠ABD=18067+90+m∠ABD=180m∠ABD=180−157=23

Therefore,m∠C=23 if then m∠ABD=23.

07

Part c. Step 1. Apply an angle sum theorem.

The sum ofmeasures ofall interior angles of a triangle is180°.

08

Part c. Step 2. Description of step.

Consider a ΔABC, such that,

m∠CAB+m∠CBA+m∠BCA=180m∠CAB+90+m∠BCA=180m∠CAB+m∠BCA=180−90m∠CAB+m∠C+=90m∠CAB=90−m∠C

09

Part c. Step 3. Apply an angle sum theorem.

Consider a ΔABD, such that,

m∠BAD+m∠ADB+m∠ABD=180m∠CAB+m∠ADB+m∠ABD=180

10

Part c. Step 4. Description of step.

Substitute90−m∠C form∠CAB into the equation obtained in step 3.

90−m∠C+90+m∠ABD=180m∠ABD−m∠C=180−180m∠ABD=m∠C

InΔABC and ΔABD,∠ABC≅∠ADB and∠BAC≅∠BAD then by corollary 1 m∠ABDis always equal to m∠C.
