The value of angle CAD is 115⁰. Option d

What is exterior angle postulate?

The Exterior Angle Theorem: It states that the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of its two remote interior angles.

From the figure

Angle CAD = 90 + 25 (exterior angle postulate)

= 115⁰

Or

AngleCAB + 90 + 25 = 180(sum of angles in a triangle)

CAB = 180- (115)

= 65⁰

Therefore,

CAD + CAB = 180(linear angles)

CAD = 180 - 65

= 115⁰

The value of angle CAD is 115⁰
