The base BC of triangle ABC is produced both ways and the measure of exterior angles formed are 94° and 126°. Then, ∠BAC = ?
(a) 94°
(b) 54°
(c) 40°
(d) 44°



Answer -

In ∆ABC, base BC is produced both ways and ∠ACD = 94°, ∠ABE = 126°
 
Ext. ∠ACD = ∠BAC + ∠ABC
⇒ 94° = ∠BAC + ∠ABC
Similarly, ∠ABE = ∠BAC + ∠ACB
⇒ 126° = ∠BAC + ∠ACB
Adding,
94° + 126° = ∠BAC + ∠ABC + ∠ACB + ∠BAC
220° = 180° + ∠BAC
∴ ∠BAC = 220° -180° = 40° (c)
