Answer:

x= 37.5°

Explanation:

∠CBD

= 180° -75° (adj. ∠s on a str. line)

= 105°

∠BCD= ∠BDC (base ∠s of isos. △BCD)

∠BCD= x

∠BCD +∠BDC +∠CBD= 180° (∠ sum of △BCD)

x +x +105°= 180°

2x= 180° -105°

2x= 75°

x= 37.5°

Alternative working:

∠BDA= (180° -75°) ÷2 (base ∠s of isos. △ABD)

∠BDA= 52.5°

∠BDA +∠BDC= 90°

52.5° +x= 90°

x= 90° -52.5°

x= 37.5°
