Considering that angle A is double the size of angle B , we can bisect angle A like we did for angle C . Now suppose the angle bisector of angle A meets B C at point E such that angle A B C = angle B A E = angle C A E = x where x is the unknown angle. Considering that angle A B E =angle B A E , this tells us that A E = B E . Next join point D to E :
Considering that A C = B D as given in the question, A E = B E as determined and angle C A E = angle D B E , we see that triangles A C E and B D E are congruent employing S A S congruence. Now letting angle A C D = angle B C D = y , triangles A C E and B D E being congruent means C E = D E therefore angle C D E = angle D C E = y . Moreover, angle B D E = angle A C E = angle A C D + angle B C D = y + y = ( 1 + 1 ) y = 2 y .
With angle B A C being twice of angle A B C , angle B A C = 2 x therefore we have:
A C D + D A C = B D C
A C D + D A C = B D E + C D E
y + 2 x = 2 y + y
2 x = 2 y
x = y
Considering triangle A B C , we also have:
B A C + A B C + A C B = π
2 x + x + 2 y = π
( 2 + 1 ) x + 2 y = π
3 x + 2 y = π
Therefore with x = y ,
3 x + 2 x = π
( 3 + 2 ) x = π
5 x = π
x = 5 π
