Angle bisectors $\overline{AX}$ and $\overline{BY}$ of triangle $ABC$ meet at point $I$. Find $\angle C,$ in degrees, if $\angle AIB = 109^\circ$.

Angle bisectors $$\overline{AX}$$ and $$\overline{BY}$$ of triangle $$ABC$$ meet at point $$I$$.
Find $$\angle C$$, in degrees, if $$\angle AIB = 109^\circ$$.

$$\begin{array}{|rcll|} \hline \text{In }\triangle AIB \\ \hline \mathbf{180^\circ} &=& \mathbf{109^\circ + A + B} \\ 180^\circ-109^\circ &=& A + B \\ 71^\circ &=& A + B \\ \mathbf{A+B} &=& \mathbf{71^\circ} \\ \hline \end{array}$$

$$\begin{array}{|rcll|} \hline \text{In } AIXC \\ \hline \mathbf{360^\circ} &=& \mathbf{C + 109^\circ + 180^\circ-(C+B) + 180^\circ-(C+A)} \\ 0 &=& C + 109^\circ -(C+B) -(C+A) \\ 0 &=& C + 109^\circ -2C - (A+B) \\ 0 &=& -C + 109^\circ - (A+B) \\ C &=& 109^\circ - (A+B) \quad | \quad \mathbf{A+B=71^\circ} \\ C &=& 109^\circ - 71^\circ \\ \mathbf{C} &=& \mathbf{38^\circ} \\ \hline \end{array}$$
