How AE=BE in your solution
Log in to reply
They are angle bisectors of equal angles of the isosceles triangle ADB.
AE=BE because AD=BD
As D is circumcenter of △ A B C ⇒ B D = A D and A E = B E .
As △ A E B is isosceles, ∠ B A E = ∠ A B E = 2 1 8 0 − 1 6 0 = 1 0 °
B E and A E are bisectors of ∠ A B D and ∠ B A D respectively ⇒ ∠ A B D = ∠ B A D = 2 0 °
Then ∠ B D A = 1 8 0 − 4 0 = 1 4 0 °
Finally, as D is circumcenter by inscribed angle ∠ A C B = 2 ∠ B D A = 7 0 °
As AE & BE are the two angle bisectors of Triangle ABD, we can state that,
In Triangle ABE, (1/2)A+(1/2)B+E = 180 ............. (a).
In Triangle ABD, A+B+D = 180; That implies , (1/2)A+(1/2)B+(1/2)D = 90 ........... (b)
Solving the (a) & (b) no. equation, We get, The angle AEB = (90 Degree + (1/2) Angle ADB). As The Angle AEB = 160 Degree, So, The {(1/2) Angle ADB} equals to 70 Degree. Because D is the circumcenter of Triangle ABC, so, Angle ACB must equals to {(1/2) Angle ADB}. Therefore, the answer is Angle ACB = 70 Degrees.
Just almost the same solution.

A D = B D = R , A E = B E ∠ B A E = 1 0 ∘ , ∠ B A D = 2 0 ∘ , ∠ A D B = 1 4 0 ∘
By Inscribed Angle Theorem ∠ A C B = 1 4 0 ∘ / 2 = 7 0 ∘ .
