Question

I need help with this problem

Answer 1

a. 74°

Explanation:

Angle BCD and angle ACB are supplementary because they form a straight line. This means they add up to 180. We can write an equation to model the situation:

m<BCD + m<ACB = 180

106 + m<ACB = 180

m<ACB = 74

Since we are given two sides of the triangle are congruent, the triangle is isosceles. The base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent, so we can say:

m<ACB = m<A

This means m<A is equal to 74°
