Question

The side BC of ∆ABC has been increased on both sides as shown. If ∠ABD = 105° and ∠ACE = 110°, find ∠A.

Open in App

Solution

We have:
$∠ A C D + ∠ A C E = 180 ° [Linear pair] \Rightarrow ∠ A C D + 110 ° = 180 ° \Rightarrow ∠ A C D = 70 °$
Side BC of triangle ABC is produced to D.
$∴ ∠ A B D = ∠ B A C + ∠ A C D [E xterior angle property] \Rightarrow 105 ° = ∠ B A C + 70 ° \Rightarrow ∠ B A C = 35 ° \Rightarrow ∠ A = 35 °$

We have: ∠ACD+∠ACE=180° Linear pair⇒∠ACD+110°=180°⇒∠ACD=70° Side BC of triangle ABC is produced to D. ∴∠ABD=∠BAC+∠ACD [Exterior angleproperty]⇒105°=∠BAC+70°⇒∠BAC=35°⇒∠A=35°
