− | Draw the angle bisectors of the angles <math>ABC</math> and <math>BCD</math>. These two bisectors obviously intersect. Let their intersection be <math>P</math>.
| |
− | We will now prove that <math>P</math> lies on the segment <math>AD</math>.
| |
− |
| |
− | Note that the triangles <math>ABP</math> and <math>CBP</math> are congruent, as they share the side <math>BP</math>, and we have <math>AB=BC</math> and <math>\angle ABP = \angle CBP</math>.
| |
− |
| |
− | Also note that for similar reasons the triangles <math>CBP</math> and <math>CDP</math> are congruent.
| |
− |
| |
− | Now we can compute their inner angles. <math>BP</math> is the bisector of the angle <math>ABC</math>, hence <math>\angle ABP = \angle CBP = 35^\circ</math>, and thus also <math>\angle CDP = 35^\circ</math>. (Faster Solution picks up here) <math>CP</math> is the bisector of the angle <math>BCD</math>, hence <math>\angle BCP = \angle DCP = 85^\circ</math>, and thus also <math>\angle BAP = 85^\circ</math>.
| |
− |
| |
− | It follows that <math>\angle APB = \angle BPC = \angle CPD = 180^\circ - 35^\circ - 85^\circ = 60^\circ</math>. Thus the angle <math>APD</math> has <math>180^\circ</math>, and hence <math>P</math> does indeed lie on <math>AD</math>. Then obviously <math>\angle BAD = \angle BAP = \boxed{ 85^\circ }</math>.

− | Faster Solution: Because we now know three angles, we can subtract to get <math>360 - 35 - 85 - 85 - 35 - 35</math>, or <math>\boxed{85}</math>.
| |
− |
| |
− |
| |
− | Even Faster Solution: Above, we proved that P falls on line AD, and also <math>\triangle ABP = \triangle CBP</math>, by <math>SAS</math>, hence we have <math>\angle BCP=\angle BAP</math>, which is the angle bisector of <math>\angle BCD</math> which is <math>\dfrac{170}{2}=85</math>. Hence we have <math>\angle BCP=\angle BAP=\angle BAD= 85^\circ</math>

− | Draw the diagonals <math>\overline{BD}</math> and <math>\overline{AC}</math>, and suppose that they intersect at <math>E</math>. Then, <math>\triangle ABC</math> and <math>\triangle BCD</math> are both isosceles, so by angle-chasing, we find that <math>\angle BAC = 55^{\circ}</math>, <math>\angle CBD = 5^{\circ}</math>, and <math>\angle BEA = 180 - \angle EBA - \angle BAE = 60^{\circ}</math>. Draw <math>E'</math> such that <math>EE'B = 60^{\circ}</math> and so that <math>E'</math> is on <math>\overline{AE}</math>, and draw <math>E''</math> such that <math>\angle EE''C = 60^{\circ}</math> and <math>E''</math> is on <math>\overline{DE}</math>. It follows that <math>\triangle BEE'</math> and <math>\triangle CEE''</math> are both equilateral. Also, it is easy to see that <math>\triangle BEC \cong \triangle DE''C</math> and <math>\triangle BCE \cong \triangle BAE'</math> by construction, so that <math>DE'' = BE = EE'</math> and <math>EE'' = CE = E'A</math>. Thus, <math>AE = AE' + E'E = EE'' + DE'' = DE</math>, so <math>\triangle ADE</math> is isosceles. Since <math>\angle AED = 120^{\circ}</math>, then <math>\angle DAC = \frac{180 - 120}{2} = 30^{\circ}</math>, and <math>\angle BAD = 30 + 55 = 85^{\circ}</math>.

− | ===Solution 3 ===
| |
− | Again, draw the diagonals <math>\overline{BD}</math> and <math>\overline{AC}</math>, and suppose that they intersect at <math>E</math>. We find by angle chasing the same way as in solution 2 that <math>m\angle ABE = 65^\circ</math> and <math>m\angle DCE = 115^\circ</math>. Applying the Law of Sines to <math>\triangle AEB</math> and <math>\triangle EDC</math>, it follows that <math>DE = \frac{2\sin 115^\circ}{\sin \angle DEC} = \frac{2\sin 65^\circ}{\sin \angle AEB} = EA</math>, so <math>\triangle AED</math> is isosceles. We finish as we did in solution 2.
