Answer:

The measure of angle x is 25 degrees.

Explanation:

Since triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle, the measure of angle BAC is equal to the measure of angle ACB. Angle ABC = 80 degrees, leaving 100 degrees to be divided equally for the measures of the other two angles. Now that you know that angle ACB = 50 degrees, you can calculate the value of angle ACD and determine that angle ACD = 130 degrees. Triangle ACD is also an isosceles triangle, and the two equal legs are AC and CD. Since angle ACD = 130 degrees, the other two angles have a total of 50 degrees. Splitting the 50 degrees equally between the two angles gives you 25 degrees as the value of angle CAD, which is labeled "x."
