Question
In the figure given alongside, find:
  1. $\angle\text{ACD}$
  2. $\angle\text{ADC}$
  3. $\angle\text{DAE}$
​​​​​​​

Answer

  1. In $\triangle\text{ABC},$ sides BC is produced to D and BA to E.
$\angle\text{CAD} = 50^\circ,\angle\text{B} = 40^\circ$ and $\angle\text{ACB} = 100^\circ$
$\angle\text{ACB} +\angle\text{ACD} = 180^\circ$ (Linear pair)
$\Rightarrow100^\circ+\angle\text{ACD} = 180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ACD} = 180^\circ-100^\circ=80^\circ$
  1. In $\triangle\text{ABC},$
$\angle\text{CAD} +\angle\text{ACD}++\angle\text{ADC} = 180^\circ$ (sum of angles of a triangle)
$\Rightarrow50^\circ+80^\circ+\angle\text{ADC} = 180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow130^\circ+\angle\text{ADC}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ADC}=180^\circ-130^\circ=50^\circ$
  1. Now, in $\triangle\text{ABD},$ BA is produced to E.
Exterior $\angle\text{DAE} =\angle\text{ACD} +\angle\text{ADC}=80^\circ+50^\circ=130^\circ$
Hence, $\angle\text{ACD}=80^\circ,\angle\text{ADC}=50^\circ$and $\angle\text{DAE}=130^\circ$
