Just draw a line from A to F s.t. BAF is 60 deg. It is simple to see that FDC is a right angle triangle in a circle with diameter FC and center at E. That means ED=EC and angle theta = angle C = 15 deg.

Interesting solutions. Another solution: Let H be a point on BC s.t. DH ⊥ BC. Then CDH = 75 and DH = (1/2)AB. As tan 75 = 2 + √3, HC = (2 + √3) DH. From CE = 2 DH, we get HE = √3 DH, which means EDH = 60. So EDC = 15

Very nice. Very easy approach.

It is known that in such a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse is four times the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse (DB=2*altitude). From this, it can be quickly seen that the CED triangle is isosceles (this immediately follows by drawing a perpendicular from E). Therefore, the angle in question is 15°.

triangle DEC is an isoceles triangle. DE = EC, so ∠EDC = ∠ECD ∠ECD = 180-90-75=15 which is also theta theta = 15

Let BD the median in triangle ABC and EP⊥AC (construction) Let AD=DC=x and AB=EC=y In orthogonal triangle ABC, BD is median => BD=AD=DC =x => triangle ABD is isosceles => ∠BAD= ∠ABD =75°. So ∠ADB=30° When the angle of a right triangle is equal to 30°, remember that the length of opposite side is always equal to half of the length of the hypotenuse. => *AE=x/2* (1) Orthogonal triangles ABE=EPC (cause AB=EC=y and ∠ABE= ∠PEC=75°) So PC=AE => PC=x/2 cause (1) Although DP=DC-PC=x-x/2=x/2 => DP=x/2 .

From B draw a line perpendicular to AC that intersect AC at H. Because ABC is right triangle with hypotenuse AC and angle BAC=75° so AC=4BH. Additionally AC=2DC as D is midpoint of AC, then DC=2BH. Construct point B' so that H is midpoint of BB'. Triangle ABB' congruent to triangle ECD (side-angle-side) as AB=EC, angle ABB'=angle ECD=15° (because both angle ABB' and angle DCE are complementary angles of angle HBC), BB'=DC=2BH. Therefore theta=angle EDC=angle AB'B. We can easily prove that triangle ABB' is isosceles triangle with base BB' so angle AB'B=angle ABB'=15°. In conclusion theta=15°

As in the video, let length AB = CE = b and AD = CD = a, therefore CA = 2a. Construct a line segment AF such that F is on BC and

Draw a line AF so that the angle BAF is 60 degree. If AB is a, AF is 2a and FC is 2a. Then FE=CE. Since AD=CD too, triangles AFC and DFC are similar. So angle CDE is the same as FAC. Since the triangle FAC is isosc, angles CDE = FAC = FCA = 15 degree.

I wrote a lot to explain the reasoning process but an experienced solver will see the relation instantly. Just draw AF and the rest is seen instantly.

@purnajinananandaavadhuta8605 4 ай бұрын

Very nice. E is mid point of FC. D is mid point of AC. So DE is half of AF, DE is a and triangle DEC is isosles and hence angle CDE is 15 degree.

Из точки D,описываем окружность, из точки С, на окружности засекаем точку. отстоящую от С на расстоянии АВ=СЕ, и соединяем эту точку К, с точкой D, Получим треугольник CKD, который равен треугольнику АВD, DE продлеваем до пересечения с СК в точке М, и видим, что DM является биссектрисой, медианой и высотой треугольника CKD, и угол тета, равен половине угла АВD, Который равен углу СDK, и равен 15 градусов.

This is a standard 75,15,90 triangle. AC=2sqrt2,AD=DC=sqrt2,BC=(sqrt3 +1),AB=EC =(sqrt3 -1),BE=AB-EC=(sqrt3 +1)-(sqrt3 -1)=2. sin75=cos15= (sqrt3 +1)/2sqrt2, cos75=sin15= (sqrt3 -1)/2sqrt2, tan75=cot15=(sqrt3 +1)/(sqrt3 -1), cot75=tan15=(sqrt3-1)/(sqrt3+1). BE=BC-EC=(sqrt3+1)-(sqrt3-1)=2. If you join B and D you have AD=DC=BD and the problem is easy from there. It helps to know the methods of finding the trig. ratios of angles that are multiples of 3 degrees in surd form. Thanks for the problem professor.

I thought that the first method kind showed how trig identifies can be used in relation to the cotangent function. Also for the second method, if there was a congruence postulate for the two pairs of congruent triangles, it would be SAS. I could be wrong and I shall make this practice for geometry.

Достраиваем до квадрата со стороной равной ВС. А потом внутри квадрата строим равносторонний треугольник со стороной равной стороне квадрата с вершиной на точке D и дальше решается очен просто.

Let P on BE so that PAB=60 deg Thus, AP=2AB Also, PAC=PCA=15 deg, so AP=PC=2AB=CE+EP=AB+EP => EP=AB CD/CE=CA/CP, finding that ΔCED is similar to ΔCPA EDC=PAC= 15 deg

I found the angle = 15º What I did, I estimated a value for the height AB in 4 units, knowing the value of the angle of 15º I discovered the value of the Hypotenuse of triangle AC at 14.4559; Drawing a straight line at 90º from the segment AB to point E, I created two triangles that, according to calculations, are equal, therefore, points D and C have the same value of their angles, 15º Bingo from Brazil!

∠ECD =15°. Let's take EC=1. Then AD=BD=CD=0.5csc15°. In ΔCDE, we know that EC/sinθ = CD/sin(θ+15°), i.e. 1/sinθ = 0.5csc15°/sin(θ+15°) = 2cos15°/sin(θ+15°). Here I change 0.5 to sin30°, and sin30°csc15°=2cos15°. Then we get sin(θ+15°)/sinθ=2cos15°. Because sin(θ+15°)=sinθcos15°+cosθsin15°, sin(θ+15°)/sinθ=cos15°+cotθsin15° = 2cos15°. Finally, we get cotθ = cos15°/sin15° = cot15°, i.e. θ = 15°.
