Answer
(i) Since, DCE is a straight line.
∴ ∠ACD + ∠ACE = 180°
⇒ ∠ACD + 130° = 180°
⇒ ∠ACD = 180° - 130° = 50°.
In △ ADC,
⇒ AD = DC (Given)
⇒ ∠DAC = ∠ACD = 50° (Angles opposite to equal sides are equal.)
By angle sum property of triangle,
⇒ ∠ADC + ∠DAC + ∠ACD = 180°
⇒ ∠ADC + 50° + 50° = 180°
⇒ ∠ADC + 100° = 180°
⇒ ∠ADC = 180° - 100° = 80°.
Hence, ∠ADC = 80°.
(ii) Since, BDC is a straight line.
∴ ∠ADB + ∠ADC = 180°
⇒ ∠ADB + 80° = 180°
⇒ ∠ADB = 180° - 80° = 100°.
In △ ABD,
⇒ AD = BD (Given)
⇒ ∠DBA = ∠BAD = x (let).
By angle sum property of triangle,
⇒ ∠BAD + ∠ADB + ∠DBA = 180°
⇒ x + 100° + x = 180°
⇒ 2x + 100° = 180°
⇒ 2x = 180° - 100°
⇒ 2x = 80°
⇒ x = = 40°.
⇒ ∠DBA = ∠BAD = 40°.
From figure,
⇒ ∠ABC = ∠DBA = 40°.
Hence, ∠ABC = 40°.
(iii) From figure,
⇒ ∠BAC = ∠BAD + ∠DAC = 40° + 50° = 90°.
Hence, ∠BAC = 90°.
