Crazy Angles

Geometry Level 3

In A B C \triangle ABC , A C > A B AC>AB and point D is on AC such that A B = A D AB=AD . If A B C A C B = 3 0 \angle ABC- \angle ACB= 30^\circ , Find the measure of supplementary angle of C B D \angle CBD in degrees.


The answer is 165.

Say A B D = A D B = α \angle ABD=\angle ADB=\alpha , C B D = β \angle CBD=\beta , then A C B = α β \angle ACB=\alpha-\beta , given A B C A C B = 3 0 \angle ABC-\angle ACB=30^\circ , α + β α + β = 3 0 \alpha+\beta-\alpha+\beta=30^\circ β = 1 5 \beta=15^\circ So the supplementary angle of C B D = 16 5 \angle CBD=165^\circ , quite easily done.

As AB=AD,so ABD=ADB,let x be its measure,So in Triangle ABD x+x+A=180 or A=180-2x........(1)Given that ABC-ACB=30 or B-30=C........(2)Now in the whole triangle ABC,A+B+C=180 or 180-2x+B+B-30=180 or 2B-2x=180-180+30 or 2(B-x)=30 or B-x=15 or ABC-ABD=15 or CBD=15,Supplementary angle of CBD=180-15 so supplementary angle of CBD=165.

good work everyone! \
