Answer 1

In triangle ABC, angles CBD and CAD can be determined based on the measure of angle A.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given triangle ABC, angle C is a right angle and CD is the altitude. We need to find the measures of angles CBD and CAD if angle A equals α.

Since angle C is a right angle, angle CBD is also a right angle.

The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, so angle CAD equals 180 - α degrees.
