Question
Use the image to answer the question.
A triangle is bisected by a vertical line that connects an apex point, labeled upper A, to a point in the middle of the triangle's base, labeled upper D. The triangle's bottom left vertex is labeled upper C and its bottom right vertex is labeled upper B.
Ines examined the triangle and noticed that segment AD
bisected ∠CAB
. She measured ∠BAD
to be 21 degrees. What is the measure of ∠CAB
in degrees?
(1 point)
The m∠CAB
is
degrees.

Since line segment AD bisects angle ∠CAB, the measure of ∠CAB is equal to the sum of the measures of angles ∠BAD and ∠DAC.
Given:
Since AD bisects ∠CAB, we have:
Therefore:
To find the measure of ∠CAB: m∠CAB = m∠BAD + m∠DAC m∠CAB = 21 degrees + 21 degrees m∠CAB = 42 degrees
Thus, the measure of ∠CAB is 42 degrees.
