Angle bisectors AX and of triangle ABC meet at point I. Find angle C in degrees, if AIB = 109.

angle C = 38 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to attached figure (sorry, forgot to attach earlier)

Given

AIB = 109

Let

CAX = XAB = x

CBY = YBA = y

XIB = YIA = x+y    ........exterior angles

XIB = YIA = 180-109 = 71   ............ sum of angles on a line

=>

x+y = 71

ACB = 180 - 2x -2y  ................. sum of angles of a triangle

= 180 - 2(x+y)

= 180 - 2(71)

= 180 - 142

= 38

stops on an even number.

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
