Question : If in $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}, \mathrm{AB}=\mathrm{AC}$ and $\angle \mathrm{ACD}=125^{\circ}$, then $\angle \mathrm{BAC}$ is:

Option 1: $75^\circ$

Option 2: $55^\circ$

Option 3: $60^\circ$

Option 4: $70^\circ$

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $70^\circ$


Solution :
Given: $\angle ACD= 125^\circ$
$\therefore \angle ACB+\angle ACD=180^\circ$
⇒ $\angle ACB=180^\circ-\angle ACD=180^\circ-125^\circ=55^\circ$
Also, $AB = AC$
$\therefore \angle ACB = \angle ABC=55^\circ$
In $\triangle ABC$,
$\angle BAC+\angle ABC +\angle ACB=180^\circ$
⇒ $\angle BAC +55^\circ+55^\circ =180^\circ$
$\therefore\angle BAC =70^\circ$
Hence, the correct answer is $70^\circ$.
