How do we evaluate the degree of $x$ using sine law?












2












$begingroup$



enter image description here



Given that



ABC is a triangle, $|EC| = |BC| = |BD| $, $angle CBA= 80^circ,angle ACB= 60^circ, angle EDA= x^circ $



Evaluate $x$




I want to solve this for $x$ using law of sines if possible.



My attempt:



From the property of triangle, the sum of the angles will be equal to $180$.



$$angle BAC = 180 - 80 - 60 = 40^circ $$



In $triangle ABC$,



$$frac{sin 40}{|BC|} = frac{sin 80}{|AC|} implies frac{|AC|}{|BC|} = frac{sin 80}{sin40}$$



Could you help me take it from there?



Regards

          You don't need trigonometry to solve for $x$. Observe that $BCE$ is an equilateral triangle, so $BE=BC$, so $BDE$ is an isosceles triangle. From this, it's easy to see that $x=100°$.

            Since $|BC|=|EC|$ and $angle BCE=60$ then $triangle BCE$ is equilateral.



            Hence $|BE|=|BC|=|BD|$, so that $triangle BDE$ is isosceles with $angle DBE=80°-60°=20°$.



            Hence, $angle BDE=(180°-20°)/2=80°$ so that $angle ADE=180°-80°=100°$.
