In triangle ABC, AB=AC and D is a point on line AC so that line BD bisects angle ABC. If BD=BC, what is the measure, in degrees, of angle A?
(Be careful with this one.)
The answer from the above link is incorrect!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AB = AC BD = BC AD = BD = BC
The sum of the interior angles of each triangle is 5x
5x = 180 x = 36 ∠A = 36º
