In the diagram below, A is on line segment CE and AB bisects Angle DAC. If segment DA is parallel to segment EF and angle AEF = 10angleBAC - 22 degrees, then what is angle DAC in degrees?

 What is angle DAC in degrees?

 

Hello Guest!

 

AEF+BAC+BAD=180o12BAC=180o2BAC=DAC=30o error

 

10BAC22o+DAC=180o5DAC22o+DAC=180o6DAC=202oDAC=3323o

Hi Asinus! You may have misread, but angleAEF = 10angleBAC - 22 degrees, not AEF = 10angleBAC. :)

By alternate interior angles, angleAEF is congruent to angleDAE. 

 

Since CAE is a straight line, then it has a straight angle. Therefore angleBAC + angleBAD + angleDAE = 180degrees.

angleDAE = angleAEF = 10angleBAC - 22degrees.

 

Since angleBAC = angleBAD because BA is an angle bisector, then we can simplify the equation to:

angleBAC + angleBAC + 10angleBAC - 22 = 180degrees.

 

To simplify:

12 * angleBAC = 202degrees.

 

To simplify:

angleBAC = (101/6)degrees.

 

Since we are looking for angleDAC, and we also know 2 * angleBAC = angleDAC, then angleDAC = 1013degrees.

∠BAC = x              ∠DAC = 2x

2x + 10x - 22 = 180
