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.

In your third line you say "The angles about point F are 60 and 120."

I don't understand how you got that.  I agree that it is true, but I don't see how you found it to be true.  Could you explain?

Also, it was a little confusing at first trying to visualize your triangle ADE.  I wasn't sure where E should be (up-left or down-right of segment AD).  Based on your other comments, it seems like E should be up-left, so I think I followed you correctly.

Thanks!
