The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given information We have triangle ABC with: - \( \angle ABC = 45^\circ \) - A point D on BC such that \( 2BD = CD \) - \( \angle DAB = 15^\circ \) ### Step 2: Set up the triangle and angles Let: - \( \angle DAB = 15^\circ \) - \( \angle ABC = 45^\circ \) Since \( D \) divides \( BC \) in the ratio \( 2:1 \), we can denote: - \( BD = x \) - \( CD = 2x \) ### Step 3: Use the exterior angle theorem According to the exterior angle theorem, we know that: \[ \angle ADC = \angle DAB + \angle ABC \] Substituting the known angles: \[ \angle ADC = 15^\circ + 45^\circ = 60^\circ \] ### Step 4: Apply the MN theorem Using the MN theorem, we have: \[ \frac{M + N}{\cot \theta} = N \cot B + M \cot C \] Where: - \( M = 2 \) (for \( CD \)) - \( N = 1 \) (for \( BD \)) - \( \theta = \angle ADC = 60^\circ \) - \( B = \angle ABC = 45^\circ \) - \( C = \angle ACB \) Substituting these values into the MN theorem: \[ \frac{2 + 1}{\cot 60^\circ} = 1 \cdot \cot 45^\circ + 2 \cdot \cot C \] ### Step 5: Calculate cotangent values We know: - \( \cot 60^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \) - \( \cot 45^\circ = 1 \) Substituting these values: \[ \frac{3}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}} = 1 + 2 \cot C \] This simplifies to: \[ 3\sqrt{3} = 1 + 2 \cot C \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( \cot C \) Rearranging the equation gives: \[ 2 \cot C = 3\sqrt{3} - 1 \] Thus: \[ \cot C = \frac{3\sqrt{3} - 1}{2} \] ### Step 7: Find angle \( C \) To find \( C = \angle ACB \), we can find the angle corresponding to the cotangent: \[ \cot C = 2 - \sqrt{3} \] This corresponds to: \[ C = 75^\circ \] ### Final Answer Thus, the angle \( \angle ACB \) is: \[ \angle ACB = 75^\circ \] ---
