In △ABC, D is a point on side AC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ such that BD=DC and ∠BCD measures 70∘. What is the degree measure of ∠ADB?

1 answer:

5 0

If angle BCD measures 70° then so does angle DBC (because you have formed an isoceles triangle inside the larger ΔABC and the two legs are equal so the two angles have to be equal. So we have a two 70° angles which leaves 40° for the 3rd angle, which is ∠BDC.

Since ∠BDC and ∠ADB are supplementary (180°) - that leaves 140° for ∠ADB and is our answer

<h3>Answer: D) Two</h3>

You need the starting point, and another point that helps direct where the ray is aimed. Call these two points A and B.

Saying "Ray AB" means we extend a line through AB such that the line goes forever through B and beyond B, but we do not do the same for point A. The point A is effectively a cliff where no road goes on the other side of it. Check out the diagram below to see what I mean. The arrow means the line goes on forever in that direction.
