Suppose A D and B E are angle bisectors of a triangle A B C , and I is their point of intersection. Suppose I lies on the circumscribed circle of E C D , and ∠ C A B = 4 7 ∘ . What is the measure (in degrees) of ∠ A B C ?

. We're sorry about the hassle.
question was quite easy!! couldn't believe after solving that it was of level 3
i did the same way.
are you crazy? sorry , i don't put the question mark before
Someone please give me the figure of this problem
are you crazy
B/2 + A/2 = C (Concyclicity & external angle) or 90° - C/2 = C or C =60°; hence, B=73°.
Denote ∠ B A C = α , ∠ A B C = β , ∠ B C A = γ , then the fact that quadrilateral C E I D is cyclic means that ∠ A I B = ∠ E I D = 1 8 0 ∘ − γ = α + β Also ∠ I A B = 2 α and ∠ I B A = 2 β , hence in triangle △ A B I we get α + β + 2 α + 2 β = 1 8 0 ∘ i.e. β = 1 2 0 ∘ − α = 1 2 0 ∘ − 4 7 ∘ = 7 3 ∘
As I lies on circumcircle of ECD, IECD is a cyclic quadrilateral so EIA = 180-C. C = 133-B (By angle sum property of a triangle) EIA = 47+B. AIB = 180-(47+B)÷2 = EIA = 47+B. SOLVE THIS EQUATION AND YOU WILL GET ABC = 73.
angle AOB = 90+C/2. Given 90+C/2 + C = 180..Thus C = 60. Hence B=73
Observe that I D C E is a cyclic quadrilateral, ⇒ ∠ D I E = 1 8 0 ∘ − ∠ C
⇒ ∠ B I A = 1 8 0 ∘ − ∠ C
⇒ ∠ A / 2 + ∠ B / 2 + 1 8 0 ∘ − ∠ C = 1 8 0 ∘
⇒ ( 9 0 ∘ − ∠ C / 2 ) = ∠ C ⇒ ∠ C = 6 0 ∘ .
⇒ ∠ B = 1 8 0 ∘ − 6 0 ∘ − 4 7 ∘ = 7 3 ∘ .
With the condition of the problem, CDIE is ciclic, then Let be <BCA=2a => <EIA=2a ( ) but by the other hand, <B=133-2a => <EBA=133/2-a and by the triangule IBA, <EIA=133/2+47/2-a ( ), by * and * , 90-a=2a => a=30 => <B=133-2a=133-60=73.
angle EID + angleECD =180(1) (EICD IS A CYLIC QUAD.) IN TRIANGLE ABI 1/2 (A+B)+EID=180 = A +B +2 EID =360 (2) Equate (1) and (2) You will get the value of EID then find the value of C AND B

Let ∠ A B C = x and ∠ A I B = ∠ E I D = y . Note that ∠ B A I = 2 ∠ B A C = 2 3 . 5 ∘ .
In △ A I B ,
∠ A B I + ∠ B A I + ∠ A I B = 1 8 0 ∘
⇒ 2 x + 2 3 . 5 ∘ + y = 1 8 0 ∘
⇒ 2 x + y = 1 5 6 . 5 ∘ _ _ _ _ _(1)
.
Quadrilateral IDCE is inscribed in a circle.
So, ∠ E I D + ∠ E C D = 1 8 0 ∘
∠ E C D = 1 8 0 ∘ − y
.
In △ A B C ,
∠ B A C + ∠ A B C + ∠ A C B = 1 8 0 ∘
⇒ 4 7 ∘ + x + ( 1 8 0 ∘ − y ) = 1 8 0 ∘
⇒ y − x = 4 7 ∘ _ _ _ _ _(2)
.
Subtract (2) from (1).
2 3 x = 1 0 9 . 5 ∘
⇒ x = ∠ A B C = 7 3 ∘
