Since △ A B C is isosceles with C A = C B ⟹ ∠ C A B = ∠ C B A = 2 1 8 0 ∘ − 2 0 ∘ = 8 0 ∘ . Therefore, ∠ B E A = 1 8 0 ∘ − 8 0 ∘ − 5 0 ∘ = 5 0 ∘ implies that △ A B E is isosceles with A B = E B . And also ∠ E B D = 8 0 ∘ − 6 0 ∘ = 2 0 ∘ implies that △ B C D is isosceles with B D = C D .
Let ∠ E D B = θ and A B = E B = 1 . Using sine rule on △ A B D :
sin ∠ B A D B D sin 8 0 ∘ B D ⟹ B D = sin ∠ A D B A B = sin 4 0 ∘ 1 = sin 4 0 ∘ sin 8 0 ∘ = 2 cos 4 0 ∘ Note that ∠ A D B = 1 8 0 ∘ − 8 0 ∘ − 6 0 ∘ = 4 0 ∘ Note that sin 8 0 ∘ = 2 sin 4 0 ∘ cos 4 0 ∘
Using sine rule on △ B D E :
E B sin ∠ E D B 1 sin θ 2 cos 4 0 ∘ sin θ cos θ sin θ tan θ ⟹ θ = B D sin ∠ D E B = 2 cos 4 0 ∘ sin ( 1 6 0 ∘ − θ ) = sin ( 2 0 ∘ + θ ) = sin 2 0 ∘ cos θ + cos 2 0 ∘ sin θ = 2 cos 4 0 ∘ − cos 2 0 ∘ sin 2 0 ∘ = 2 cos ( 3 0 ∘ + 1 0 ∘ ) − cos ( 3 0 ∘ − 1 0 ∘ ) sin ( 3 0 ∘ − 1 0 ∘ ) = cos 3 0 ∘ cos 1 0 ∘ − 3 sin 3 0 ∘ sin 1 0 ∘ sin 3 0 ∘ cos 1 0 ∘ − cos 3 0 ∘ sin 1 0 ∘ = 2 3 cos 1 0 ∘ − 2 3 sin 1 0 ∘ 2 1 cos 1 0 ∘ − 2 3 sin 1 0 ∘ = 3 1 = 3 0 ∘ Note that ∠ D E B = 1 8 0 ∘ − 2 0 ∘ − θ = 1 6 0 ∘ − θ Note that sin ( 1 8 0 ∘ − x ) = sin x
