Question

What does the measure of B Equal?

Answer 1

You have two triangles, ADC and ABC.
Sides AD and AB are congruent.
Sides DC and BC are congruent.
Side AC is congruent to itself.
By SSS, triangles ADC and ABC are congruent.

Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.
That means that angles DAC and BAC are congruent.
Angles DCA and BCA are congruent.

Since m<DAC = 32, then m<BAC = 32
Since m<DCA = 41, then m<BCA = 41.

Now you know the measures of two angles of triangle ABC.
The measures of the interior angles of a triangle add to 180.
You can find the measure of angle B.

m<BAC + m<B + m<BCA = 180

32 + m<B + 41 = 180

m<B + 73 = 180

m<B = 107
