- The following problem is from both the 2007 AMC 12A #6 and 2007 AMC 10A #8, so both problems redirect to this page.
Problem
Triangles and
are isosceles with
and
. Point
is inside triangle
, angle
measures 40 degrees, and angle
measures 140 degrees. What is the degree measure of angle
?
Solution 1
We angle chase and find out that:

Solution 2
Since triangle is isosceles we know that angle
.
Also since triangle is isosceles we know that
.
This implies that .
Then the sum of the interior angles of quadrilateral is
.
Solving the equation, we get .
Therefore the answer is .
Solution 3
Using the previous drawing we know that ACD and DAC are both equal to 20 (40/2 or (180-40)/2). We also know that BAC and BCA are both 70 or (180-40)/2. Thus BDA is 70-20 or 50. Easy. -RealityWrites
