Question

Someone help please with this question

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. 180 - (36 +36)= 108

2. angle ABC = 108 angle DBC = 108-72=36

3. angle DCB=angle DBC. This is because the base angles are equal

4 therefore triangle BDC is isoscles

Answer 2

Because ΔABD is isosceles, ∠ABD ≅ ∠ADB = 72° because of Base Angles Theorem which states that the base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent. Then, ∠BDC = 180° - ∠ADB = 108° because they are supplementary angles. Because ΔABC is isosceles, ∠BAC ≅ ∠BCA = 36° because of Base Angles Theorem, which means ∠CBD = 180° - 108° - 36° = 36° because of the sum of angles in a triangle. Therefore, ΔBCD is isosceles because of the Converse of Base Angles Theorem.
