Measure that angle III (Posted on 2004-09-07) Difficulty: 4 of 5
Triangle ABC has side AB=AC, and angle BAC = 20 degrees.

D is a point on side AC with AD=BC. Find angle DBC.

Solve this without trigonometry.

I made this diagram using geometer's sketchpad

It didn't yield any insights that led me to a proof, but I did find the angle.

It is 70 degrees.
