Question

Help. Can somebody help me with this. Thank you.

Answer 1

`m\angle CAB=65^\circ`

Explanation:

Angles and Lines

It's convenient to recall two basic principles of angles:

The sum of internal angles in a triangle is 180°

Two linear angles are supplementary, i.e. they sum 180°.

Angles ABC and CBD are linear. Since we know the measure of angle CBD, thus the measure of angle ABC is 180°-6x.

Now focus on the triangle. The sum of its internal angles is:

x + 40 + 3x + 10 + 180 - 6x = 180

Simplifying:

-2x + 230 = 180

Subtracting 230:

-2x = -50

Dividing by -2:

x = -50 / (-2) = 25

x = 25°

Now find the measure of angle CAB

`m\angle CAB=x+40=25+40=65`

`\mathbf{m\angle CAB=65^\circ}`
