How do I construct angle XYZ with a measure of 2 times the measure of angle ABC
Serjik [45]
I can’t understand why everyone complicates this question. It can be easily solved by similar triangles.


In this png, we have something to make sure.

∠B=∠DAB

(Yes, dab)

This also means AD=BD
A
D
=

.

This is our basic construction of D, which is going to help us.

∠ADC=∠DAB+∠B=2∠B=∠CAB
∠

∠CAD=∠CAB−∠DAB=∠B

B
=
∠

These are based on the fact that ∠A=2×∠B
∠

Actually these conditions suffice. Because I am just proving that △ACD∼△BCA

Similarity makes us realize the following:

ACBC=ADAB

and

ACBC=CDAC

So

AC×AB=BC×AD

and

AC2=BC×CD

So

BC2=BC×(BD+CD)=BC×(AD+CD)
