The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the angle BPC in triangle ABC, where angle A is given as 70 degrees. The angle bisector of the interior angle B and the exterior angle C intersect at point P. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Angles in Triangle ABC**: - We know that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. Therefore, we can express angle B and angle C in terms of angle A. - Let angle B = b and angle C = c. - We have: \[ A + B + C = 180^\circ \] \[ 70^\circ + b + c = 180^\circ \] - From this, we can deduce: \[ b + c = 110^\circ \quad (1) \] 2. **Determine the Exterior Angle at C**: - The exterior angle at C is given by: \[ \text{Exterior angle C} = 180^\circ - c \] 3. **Using the Angle Bisector Theorem**: - The angle bisector of angle B divides it into two equal parts: \[ \text{Angle B} = \frac{b}{2} \] - The angle bisector of the exterior angle at C divides it into two equal parts: \[ \text{Exterior angle C} = \frac{180^\circ - c}{2} \] 4. **Finding Angle BPC**: - The angle BPC can be expressed as: \[ \text{Angle BPC} = \frac{b}{2} + \frac{180^\circ - c}{2} \] - Simplifying this gives: \[ \text{Angle BPC} = \frac{b + 180^\circ - c}{2} \] 5. **Substituting from Equation (1)**: - From equation (1), we know \( b + c = 110^\circ \). Thus, we can express \( b \) in terms of \( c \): \[ b = 110^\circ - c \] - Now substitute \( b \) into the equation for angle BPC: \[ \text{Angle BPC} = \frac{(110^\circ - c) + 180^\circ - c}{2} \] \[ = \frac{290^\circ - 2c}{2} \] \[ = 145^\circ - c \] 6. **Substituting the Value of c**: - Since \( b + c = 110^\circ \) and \( b = 110^\circ - c \), we can express \( c \) in terms of \( b \): \[ c = 110^\circ - b \] - Now we need to find \( c \) knowing \( A = 70^\circ \): \[ b + c = 110^\circ \] - Using the relationship: \[ \text{Angle BPC} = 145^\circ - (110^\circ - b) \] \[ = 145^\circ - 110^\circ + b \] \[ = 35^\circ + b \] 7. **Final Calculation**: - Since we know \( b + c = 110^\circ \) and \( A = 70^\circ \), we can find \( b \): \[ b = 110^\circ - c \] - Finally, substituting the known values: \[ \text{Angle BPC} = 35^\circ \] ### Conclusion: Thus, the measure of angle BPC is \( 35^\circ \).
