What is the m∠ADC?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a) 14 b) 24 c) 44 d) 134

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is 24 degree if u want to know why, just write back and I'll explain....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would like to know why please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, (I am using L for the sign of angle) L DAB is the exterior angle of the triangle. In a triangle, the measure of the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of interior opposite angles

thanks

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

m< ACD = 180-m< BCD (since these two angles are supplementary) m< ACD = 180-46 m< ACD = 134 Since all angles in a triangle add to 180, we know that 22 + m < ADC + 134 = 180 m < ADC + 156 = 180 m < ADC = 180-156 m < ADC = 24 So the answer is 24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so L DAB = L DAC + L ADC 46 deg = 22 deg + L DAC 46 deg - 22 deg = L DAC 24 deg = L DAC

the method jim_thompson has given is also right though a little more long-winded...... ☺
