Answer with explanation:
it is given that ,in ΔABC,
∠BAD=20°, and ∠CAD=54°
We have to adjust point D,so that measure of angle BAD is equal to the measure of angle CAD.
that is, if point D is moved to right of B,then ∠BAD increases from 20° to (20+x)° and ∠CAD decreases from 54° to (54-x)°.
→20 +x=54-x
⇒ 2 x= 54 -20
⇒2 x=34
x=17°
Using angle bisector theorem, if AD bisects ∠B AC.
so,
If, ∠BAD=∠CAD=37°, then
1. AD bisects ∠B AC.→→→Option A
