Given:-

  • ABC is a triangle.
  • [tex]\angle[/tex]BAC = 40°.
  • [tex]\angle[/tex]ABC = 70°.

To Find:-

  • Measure of [tex]\angle[/tex]ACD.

Solution:-

➾Firstly, we will find the measure of [tex]\angle[/tex]ACB.

We know that,

Sum of all interior angles of a triangle = 180°.

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex][tex]\angle[/tex]BAC + [tex]\angle[/tex]ABC + [tex]\angle[/tex]ACB = 180°

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] 40°+70°+[tex]\angle[/tex]ACB = 180°

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] 110°+[tex]\angle[/tex]ACB = 180°

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] [tex]\angle[/tex]ACB = 180°-110°

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex][tex]\angle[/tex]ACB = 70°

So, the measure of [tex]\angle[/tex]ACB = 70°.

➾ Side BC of the triangle is extended till D. So, we have to find the measure of [tex]\angle[/tex] ACD.

As we know that,

Sum of any two or more angles that lie on a straight line = 180°.

So, [tex]\sf\angle{ACB}[/tex]+[tex]\sf\angle{ACD}[/tex] = 180°

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] 70° + [tex]\sf\angle{ACD}[/tex] = 180°

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex][tex]\sf\angle{ACD}[/tex] = 180°-70°

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex][tex]\sf\angle{ACD}[/tex] = 110°.

Therefore, measure of [tex]\sf\angle{ACD}[/tex] = 110°.
