Nice geometric solution! I got there with tangents function. If you complete the right-angled triangle in the bottom left, with height h and base p+2d (were d is the length AD) then you see there are three right-angled triangles and by considering each one in turn that: tan 60 = (p+2d)/h = sqrt(3) tan 45 = (p+d)/h = 1 tan (45-x) = p/h Multiply both sides of the second equation by two and subtract the first equation from it and you have 2-sqrt(3) = p/h Substitute this into the third equation and you get: x = 45 - tan-1 (2-sqrt(3)) which is 30 degrees.

Let's say that you are required to solve by construction only, no trigonometry. Eastern Brown's solution adapts as follows. Complete the right triangle and make use of the known ratios of sides for the 60°-30°-90°, 45°-45°-90°, and 75°-15°-90° right triangles. The smallest right triangle has p/h = (2-√3) = (√3-1)/(√3+1) which matches the 75°-15°-90° right triangle. The smallest angle, 15°, needs to be subtracted from 45° to get x = 30°.

I solved by using trignometry and the law of sines for triangles. With reference to your diagram, let AD=BD= a, and let us designate the length AC=b. Then, for the triangle ACD, a/sinx = b/sin45 ==> sinx = a/(b*sqrt 2). Also for the triangle ACB, 2a/sin(x+15) = b/sin 30 ==> sin(x+15) = a/b = sqrt 2*sinx. Therefore, sinx*cos15+cosx*sin15 = sqrt 2*sinx. If we divide this equation by sinx, it can be reduced to cos15 + cotx*sin15 = sqrt 2 ==> cotx = (sqrt 2 - cos15)/sin15, or tan x = sin15/(sqrt 2 - cos15). The right hand expression can be calculated as 0.57735026919, which happens to be the tan 30 degrees.

Intuitively, I figured that the bifurcation of the base created a triangle ADC which you could map to ABC by a reflection across AC, and a rotation around A, followed by a dilation. This would show that angle BAC is the same angle as CAD. The measure of angle BAC I got deriving angle DBC from 180 - 45 = 135, and then 180 - 15 - 135 = 30. As it turns out, this leads to the correct solution, namely x = 30 degrees. But I don't know if this is a fluke :)

an easier solution i think would be to just draw a line say CE parallel to AD now using alternate interior angle property we can conclude that angle ADC = angle DCE. Now since the line CE is also parallel to DB therefore we can conclude using alternate angle property that angle DBC = angle BCE. Now angle DCE= angle DCB + angle BCE = 45. Therefore, 15 + BCE = 45, therefore BCE = DBC = 30

3:13 to get angle PDC you don't need the 120 degree. Just use the exterior angle theorem again in the trangle PDC with angle BPD=30degree as the exterior angle, and angle PCD=15degree so angle PDC=30-15=15degree. This is a good question that looks difficult but once the additional lines are drawn it becomes straightforward.

@@hussainfawzer Hello Thanks for the question, I left out a lot of steps and also erred in saying CB=sqrt2. Sorry for that (CA=sqrt2 is correct). To get EA then CE let EA=y and AB=1 (or any number but 1 makes the calculating easier) Since triangle CED is a right triangle with a 45 degree angle, CE=ED=1+y. EB also =2+y Since angle CEB is defined as a right angle and CBE (as shown by PreMath) is 30 degrees, CEB is a 30-60-90 triangle and CB will be twice CE or 2+2y So by Pythagoras CE^2+EB^2=CB^2 or (1+y)^2+(2+y)^2=(2+2y)^2 Simplify and get 2y^2+2y-1=0 and so y=(sqrt3-1)/2 and EC=(sqrt3+1)/2 I hope that answers your question, Hussain. Now one can get CA=sqrt2 from Pythagoras. And looking at triangle CAD, the law of sines gives sinx/1=sin45/sqrt2 and sinx=1/2.

THE SHORT: If you could draw DP so that DP=DB, on paper, you could also just as easily draw AP so that AP=AD=CP=PD, on paper... all anchored by the given angles of ADC & DCB. THE LONG: Imagine vertices ABC are 3 stars in a system, with D being a star exactly between star A and star B (let's say with Hubble, we're easily able to measure that the star D is exactly half way, in light years, between stars A & B, all three nicely aligned). From ANY of these given stars, to any other star (in the ABCD set of star system), as well as, angles 15 & 45....nothing was given, could have been given, via assumption or "eye balling".... Everything came about through precise measurements via parallax + trigonometric, standard Candle method, etc. Take one step back and ask yourself: --- what is the astronomical (if we took ABCD to be a set of 4 stars in the Milky Way) or geometric logic that said you could, for example, draw a precisely KNOWN line segment, like DP, from one vertex of BDC, to the opposite side, BC, in such a way that DP is exactly equal to one side, DB.... but NOT be able to do a similar thing, say, AP? After all, AP=AD=DB, DB=DP, and AD=DB.... all anchored by the given angles of 15 (DCB) & 45 (ADC). For example, "P" can NOT be in any other place, along BC, such that AD is not equal to AP (due to the dictates of the angles 15 and 45, as given). In other words, there's neither "wiggle room" for angles ADC & DCB, on the one hand, nor for point "P" along BC such that AP=AD=DB=DP is NOT true, on the other.

Using ASA (15 degree, sqrt 2 and 135 degree) for triangle CDB gives 0.732 for DB , but DB = AD thus PA = 1-0.732 = 0.268. Since the right triangle CPA has the sides 1, 0.268 then using SAS (1, 0.268, and 90 degree) gives 15 degrees for angle y, but y+x=45 degree hence x=30 degree

Hi, you could have separated triangle cdb and joined AD and DB by rotating clock wise triangle CDB. Making points A and B to be the same point. And you can get the answer in 2 steps. As rotating would create an isosceles triangle. Try it out
@jsm55572 жыл бұрын
Rotating does not create an isosceles triangle. In fact, in the general case, the rotation is more likely to create a 4 sided polygon. In this particular case it creates a triangle, but not an isosceles one. To think this through, think about point C being split by the rotation, where C1 is the original point C, and C2 is created by the rotation. In this case, because angle ADC is 45 degrees and angle CDB is 135 degrees, after the rotation the line segments C1D and DC2 are collinear forming a straight line, with D in the center, since C1D and DC2 are the same length (but since they form a straight line they are not two sides of an isosceles triangle). So one side of the resulting triangle is C1C2, with the other two sides being AC1 and BC2 (A and B are the same point after the rotation). One of the angles in this new triangle is the 15 degrees from angle DCB prior to rotation, another angle is X degrees, formed from angle ACD prior to rotation (now AC1C2 after rotation). We know from the solution presented that X is not 15 degrees but is a value (trying not to spoil) such that none of the angles in the triangle formed by the rotation are the same.

Fantastic and clever solution! I couldn't made it that way! I have another aprroach: 1. Draw the circle that contains point A,B,C. To do so, draw 2 perpendicular lines at the midpoind of AB and BC, these two lines meet at the center O. WE notice that AOB is the angle at the center and the angle ACB (= angle x +15 degrees) is the angle at the circumference. 2. Demonstrate that the angle at the center AOB is equal 90 degrees. Then, we can find the value of the angle ACB = 1/2 AOB= 45 degrees. 3. The angle x= angle ACB - 15 = 45-15= 30 degrees.

You cannot say that there is a circle which contains point A,B,C

@@emaceferli726 Yes, I can. Just label M and N the midpoint of AB and then AC. Draw 2 perpendicular lines to AB, and AC at these points which meet at the center O. Then we have OC=OA=OB, therefore we can draw a circle from the center O with the radius R=OC=OA=OB. It is easy to see that the angle CBA=30 degrees (CMA is the exterior angle=45degrees). The angle CBA is the angle at circumference of which COA is the angle at the center, so COA= 2 CBA=60 degrees----> the triangle COA is an equilateral one. Let's say I is the midpoint of OA. The height from the vertex C to I is also the bisector of the angle ACO (=60 degrees). Because the angle AMC=OMC=45 degrees so CM is the bisector of the angle OMA, so C,I,M are colleniar. Thus the angle x= ACM= 30 degrees

Is it only me who thought that if AD=DB, CD is the median line of the triangle in C, thus meaning in cuts the angle in half? And if DCB is 15, ACB would be 30?🤔🤔
@TJ-bd5iq Жыл бұрын
You’re correct especially if you check with Sine law
@antoninodanna1996 Жыл бұрын
Actually, that is not always the case, as shown in this problem here. The median of a triangle in a given vertex is not always equal to the bisector of the relative angle. They're the same in some cases, for example if the triangle is equilateral, it is true for alla the vertices.
@antoninodanna1996 Жыл бұрын
@TJ the sine law is applied within a given triangle, in this case you can say tha sin(15°)/(DB) = sin(30°)/DC And sin(x)/AD=sin(135-x)/DC
@yuda46263 ай бұрын
You're mistaken between median line and angle bisector. This is proven false in this example so if it cit ACB in middle = ACD = DCB =15° which is not the case

I used sin rule. Sin15/DB = sin30/CD. I get DB = 0.518CD. and then sinx/DB = sin(135-x)/CD. I substituted DB = 0.518CD into the second sin rule equation. CD got cancelled out and after using some trigo identities, I managed to solve for x as the answer given. Good qns!

It was an easy puzzle! You could've solved it with a much easy technique. ∠CDA + ∠CDB=180°[Linear Pair] . So, ∠CDA is given as 45°. Then, 45°+ ∠CDB=180°. ∠CDB=135°. ∠B+∠CDA+∠DCB=180°[Angle sum property of a triangle]. Then if we construct a similar congruent triangle to CAD say CAE. we get x+x+15°+45°+45°=180°[angle sum property of a triangle]. we get the value of x as 45°. So, this was a more easy technique😀😀

I think the question may be solved by applying basic triangle rules. I tried by following method- 1. By external angle theorem: angle DBC = 30° 2. In triangle DBC, if length of DB is 'a' (against 15°), then CD is 2a (against 30°) 3. Now, in triangle CAD, AD = a, CD = 2a 4. Angle ACD = x, Angle ADC = 45° = y, Angle CAD = z 5. Angle z = 2 (Angle x) [because CD = 2 (AD)]. 6. As, Angle x + y + z = 180° x + 45 + 2(x) = 180° 3x = 180° - 45° = 135° x = 135°/3 x = 45°

There is no rule in a triangle as you wrote "if length of DB is 'a' (against 15°), then CD is 2a (against 30°)". By this info you can just write: CD>AB.

All angles except ones on left side are known. The ones on left side are x and 135-x. Use law of sines to relate ratio of shared side length to length of congruent side. Solve for x. x = invtan(sin135(sin30/sin15+cos135)^-1) = 30.

You could've also just found angle BDC as it's a linear pair=135 and then as cdb is a triangle with angle sun property you can find angle b as 30 and then angle acd equals dbc so angle acd is 30
