In ∆ABC, AM is perpendicular to BC and AN is the bisector of ∠A. What is the measure of ∠MAN, if ∠B = 55o and ∠C = 35o?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 10o.
.
In triangle ABC, we have two triangles ABM & AMC are right-angled triangles
⇒ ∠BAN = ∠NAC (given)
In the triangle ABC, the sum of angles will be given as
⇒ 55o + 35o + ∠A = 180o
⇒ ∠A = 90o
⇒ ∠BAN = ∠NAC = 45o
In triangle ANC, the sum of angles will be given as
⇒ 45o + 35o + ∠ANC = 180o
⇒ ∠ANC = 100o
⇒ ∠ANB = 80o
In triangle ANM, the sum of angles will be given as
⇒ 80o + 900 + ∠MAN = 180o
⇒ ∠MAN = 10o
