in parallelogram ABCD AC is diagonal the measure ltABC is 40 and the measure of ltACD IS 57 what is the measure of ltCAD class=

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]\angle CAD = 83^\circ [/tex] Option D


Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we use properties of parallelogram and angle sum property of a triangle.

In parallelogram ABCD


[tex] \angle ABC=40^\circ [/tex]


As, we know that opposite angles of parallelogram are equal


Therefore,


[tex] \angle ABC =\angle ADC =40^\circ [/tex]


Now, in triangle ADC

We know that sum of all the angles of a triangle is [tex]=180^\circ[/tex]


[tex]\angle ACD +\angle ADC +\angle DAC =180^\circ[/tex]


[tex]57^\circ +40^\circ +\angle DAC =180^\circ[/tex]


[tex]97^\circ + \angle DAC = 180^\circ [/tex]

Subtracting 97 from both sides we get


[tex] \angle DAC = 180^\circ - 97^\circ [/tex]


[tex] \angle DAC = 83^\circ [/tex]


Measure of [tex]\angle CAD = 83^\circ [/tex]
