  1. Trigonometry Solution

    Let < BCA = x

    Then by the Sine Rule for Triangle ABC
    sin(x+7)/sinx = 6/5 = 1.2
    sin7 + cos7. cot x = 1.2
    tanx = sin7/(1.2 - cos7) = 0.5814
    x = 30.43 degrees

    If there is a pure geometry solution I would love to see it

  2. x = 30° Construir el triángulo equilátero APC, hacia el mismo lado que B. Trazar BH perpendicular a AP. Luego, los triángulos ABC y PBC son congruentes (LAL): c = 30°
