Hi!

#

Have you tried anything?

#

Well

#

You see

#

Sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees

#

Also

#

Angles opposite to equal sides in a triangle are equal

#

Well

#

If you have an isosceles triangle

#

Like this

#

Then the angles opposite to the equal sides

#

Are also equal

#

So

#

Try creating a new overview of what you have

#

And see if you can figure out some angles

Angle (ACB) = 4*angle (BAC)

∠ACB=48°

Take better pictures 😐

#

its 45 degrees

#

lets set ∠XAY=a°

#

then because AX=XY

#

∠XYA=a°

#

and so,

#

∠BXY=a+a°=2a°

#

and also since, XY=BY,

#

∠XBY also becomes 2a°

#

now, ∠XYB=(180-4a)°

#

so ∠BYC=3a°

#

and since BY=BC

#

∠BCY is also 3a°

#

and since ∠ABC=120°= ∠XBY+ ∠YBC=2a+(180-6a)°=180-4a

#

a=15

#

so ∠ACB=3a°=45°
