The m∠BAC is 23 degrees.
The m angle upper B upper A upper C is 23 degrees.

The m∠BAC is 46 degrees.

Answer 1

Since ray AC bisects ∠A, it splits the angle into two equal parts. Given that m∠BAD is 46 degrees, we can find m∠BAC by dividing m∠BAD by 2.

m∠BAC = m∠BAD / 2 = 46 degrees / 2 = 23 degrees.

Therefore, the correct response is:

The m∠BAC is 23 degrees.
