Exercise 66 Page 344

If the angles are equal, we can equate their expressions.

x=11^(∘)
m∠ ABC=114^(∘)

Practice makes perfect

Since ∠ ABC is divided into two equal parts, we can equate the angle measures of ∠ ABD and ∠ CBD.

Let's solve this equation for x.
3x+24^(∘)=5x+2^(∘)
3x+22^(∘)=5x
22^(∘)=2x
11^(∘)=x
x=11^(∘)
Having found that x= 11^(∘), we can calculate one of the angles and then multiply the result by 2 to get the measure of ∠ ABC. m∠ ABC: 2(5( 11^(∘))+2^(∘))=114^(∘)
