what is the measure of angle ACB? class=

Verified Answer :

The answer is 73 degrees.... A triangle adds up to 180 degrees. The angle next  to  B is a supplementary angle so you subtract 180 - 145= 35.... angle next to A is also supplementary so you 180 - 108 = 72

72 + 35 = 107
180 - 107= 73

Your answer is 73 degrees

Answer:

Linear pair is a pair of adjacent angles formed when two lines intersect.

so, \(\angle EAB\) and \(\angle CAB\) are linear pairs.

Linear pairs are always supplementary.

therefore,

\(\angle EAB+\angle CAB=180^{\circ}\)              ......[1]

Also, it is given in figure, \(\angle EAB = 108^{\circ}\)

Substitute in [1], we get;

\(108^{\circ}+\angle CAB=180^{\circ}\)

Simplify:

\(\angle CAB =180^{\circ}-108^{\circ}=72^{\circ}\)

Exterior- Angle sum Property states that if the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two non-adjacent interior angles of the triangle.

then by Exterior angle sum property ;

\(\angle ACB+\angle CAB =\angle CBF\)

Substitute the values given in the figure;

\(\angle ACB+72^{\circ}=145^{\circ}\)

simplify;

\(\angle ACB =145-72 = 73^{\circ}\)

therefore, the measure of angle ACB is, \(73^{\circ}\)
