✍️ Find All Angles of Quadrilateral ABCD
1 In ΔADC
In triangle ADC, ∠CAD = 30°, ∠ACD = ? (We need to find this first). What type of triangle is ADC? (Given AB = AD and CB = CD)
2 ∠ACD in ΔADC
Since AD = AB and CD = CB, and AC is common, what can we say about ∠ACD?
3 Value of ∠ACD
From the given data, ∠ACB = 50°. Since the Quadrilateral is symmetric along diagonal AC, what is ∠ACD?
4 ∠ADC (angle at D)
In ΔADC, ∠CAD = 30°, ∠ACD = 50°. Find ∠ADC.
5 In ΔABC
In triangle ABC, ∠ACB = 50°, ∠CAB = ? (Need to find)
6 ∠CAB in ΔABC
By symmetry of the Quadrilateral (AB = AD, CB = CD), ∠CAB equals which angle?
7 Value of ∠CAB
Therefore, ∠CAB = ∠CAD = 30°. Then find ∠ABC in ΔABC.
8 ∠ABC (angle at B)
In ΔABC, ∠CAB = 30°, ∠ACB = 50°. Find ∠ABC.
9 ∠BCD (angle at C)
∠BCD = ∠BCA + ∠ACD = 50° + 50° = ?
10 ∠BAD (angle at A)
∠BAD = ∠BAC + ∠CAD = 30° + 30° = ?
