Answer:
x=37°
y=6
Step-by-step explanation:
(ASSUMING BD is a perpendicular bisector of AC, otherwise answers maybe be wrong)
Consider the triangle ABC:
AB is the same length as BC (marked), meaning ABC is an isosceles triangle.
Since ABC is isosceles, ∠BAC=∠BCA=53
All angles in a triangle add up to 180:
180=∠ABC + ∠BAC + ∠BCA
180= ∠ABC + 53 +53
∠ABC = 180 - 106
∠ABC = 74
Assuming BD bisects ∠ABC perfectly, x is half of ∠ABC.
x=74/2=37
If BD bisects AC perfectly, AD=DC=y=6
Answer:
x² - 20 = 0
Using the quadratic formula
a = 1 b = 0 c = -20
So we have
Hope this helps you.
