Answer» Step-by-step explanation: Step 1: Suppose that angle ''A'' = 2x. LOOKING at the fact that AN is BISECTOR of angle A you may write that angle "BAN" = "NAC" i.e. = x Step 2: In the triangle ( ΔABC) the total of all the angles must be 180 degrees, as per common law RULES. So the sum of all angles of triangle must be ∠B + ∠C + ∠A = 180° Step 3: We have following missing values:- 65 + 30 + angle "A" = 180° =180-( 65+30) =180-(95) =85 degrees. You found value for angle "A" Step 4: Now you must do angle "A"/2 i.e. x = 85 degrees /2 Step 5: in triangle ABN another triangle ANC is the exterior angle so use this law of total of exterior angles to find out missing value. Where; x + 65 = angle "ANC" 85/2 + 56 = angle "ANC " ∠ANC = 215/2 Step 6: After finding the angle look at MNA = 180 degrees NEXT you do this 180- (215/2) = 143/2 Step 7: in the triangle AMN, this is the situation that; 143/2 + 90 + angle MAN = 180° thus; angle MAN = 90 - 143/2 Making answer angle MAN = 35/2 final answer: 17.5 degrees |
