angle(ICD) = angle(ICB) = alpha (IC bisector)
ReplyDeleteangle(BAC) = angle(BCA) = x + alpha (Tri.ABC isosceles)
Tri.ADC: x+alpha + 94º + x-alpha = 180º
x = 43º
MIGUE.
name ang DCI = a, DCA = b
ReplyDelete=>
x = a + b , A = 2a + b, CIT = 90 - a ( T tg point )
in ADIC
(a + b) + (90 - a + 47) + ( 43 + 94) + (2a + b) = 360
2a + 2b = 86
a + b = 43
x = 43
----------------------------------------------
Let BC,CD,DB touch the circle at D',B',C' respectively
ReplyDeletemDIC=mDIB'+mB'IC=1/2(mC'IB'+mB'ID')=m(IC',BI) <=> m(BI,IC)=mC'ID, with mDC'I=m(AC,IB)=pi/2 => mCDI=mIDB=x
2x+94=180 <=> x=43
ang. BAC = ang.BCA
ReplyDeleteang. BCA=2x+y =BAC if ICD =x and DCA=y
in tri.ADC ang A +ang C=2x+2y=180-94=86
hence x+y=43
AB=BC which is given so that angleBAC = angleACB.
ReplyDeletewhich implies that angleABC=180-2*angleBAC
join ID then in triangle BDC, I is the incentre.
so that angleDIC=90+(1/2)*angleABC but we have angleABC = 180-2*angleBAC which gives angleDIC=180-angleBAC.
but from the above we have, angleDAC+angleDIC=180 so that A,D,I,C are concyclic.
now angleADI+angleACI=180 by angle sum property.
angleADC=94 which is given so that angleBDC=180-94=86 as these angles make a linear pair.
angleADI=angleADC+angleCDI=94+(1/2)*angleBDC because ID bisects angleBDC as I is the incentre.
which implies that angleADI=94+43=137
but angleADI+angleACI=180
which implies that 137+angleACI=180
so that angleACI=43.
Let < ICD = < ICB = m.
ReplyDeleteThen in Tr. ACD, C + (C - 2m) + 94 = 180 from which we have C - m = 43 = x.
