Question

The following triangles are similar triangles with some dimensions specified. Find the measures of the other sides.

Answer 1

116°

Explanation:

(Angle sum property of a triangle = 180°)

angle A + angle C + angle ABC = 180°

66° + 50° + angle BAC = 180°

116° + angle ABC = 180°

angle ABC = 180° - 116°

angle ABC = 64°

angle ABD + angle ABC = 180°

angle ABD + 64° = 180°

angle ABD = 180° - 64°

angle ABD = 116°

So, the measure of the unknown angle is 116°
