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
10BAC−22o+DAC=180o5DAC−22o+DAC=180o6DAC=202oDAC=3323o

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.
