The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the reasoning provided in the video transcript. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Angles of the Triangle:** The angles of the triangle are given in the ratio 3:4:5. Let the angles be represented as: - Angle A = 3x - Angle B = 4x - Angle C = 5x 2. **Set Up the Equation:** The sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees. Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ 3x + 4x + 5x = 180 \] 3. **Combine Like Terms:** Combine the terms on the left side: \[ 12x = 180 \] 4. **Solve for x:** Divide both sides by 12 to find the value of x: \[ x = \frac{180}{12} = 15 \] 5. **Calculate the Angles:** Now substitute the value of x back into the expressions for the angles: - Angle A = 3x = 3(15) = 45 degrees - Angle B = 4x = 4(15) = 60 degrees - Angle C = 5x = 5(15) = 75 degrees 6. **Identify the Incenter and Angle Bisector:** Let D be the point where the angle bisector of angle A intersects side BC. Since AD is the angle bisector, angle DAC = angle DAB = 22.5 degrees (since angle A = 45 degrees). 7. **Use the Triangle ADC:** In triangle ADC, we can use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees: \[ \angle ACD + \angle DAC + \angle ADC = 180 \] Here, angle ACD = angle C = 75 degrees and angle DAC = 22.5 degrees. 8. **Set Up the Equation:** Substitute the known values into the equation: \[ 75 + 22.5 + \angle ADC = 180 \] 9. **Solve for Angle ADC:** Combine the known angles: \[ 97.5 + \angle ADC = 180 \] Now, isolate angle ADC: \[ \angle ADC = 180 - 97.5 = 82.5 \text{ degrees} \] ### Final Answer: The measure of angle ADC is **82.5 degrees**.
