30. The base BC of triangle ABC is produced both ways and the measure of exterior angles formed are 94° and 126°. Then, ∠BAC =
(a) 94°
(b) 54°
(c) 40°
(d) 44°
Solution
In the given problem, the exterior angles obtained on producing the base of a triangle both ways are 94 and 126. So, let us draw ΔABC and extend the base BC, such that:
∠ACD = 126
∠ABE = 94
Now, since BCD is a straight line, using the property, “angles forming a linear pair are supplementary”, we get
∠ACB + ∠ACD = 180
⇒ ∠ACB + 126 = 180
⇒ ∠ACB = 180 - 126
⇒ ∠ACB = 54
Similarly, EBS is a straight line, so we get,
∠ABC + ∠ABE = 180
⇒ ∠ABC + 94 = 180
⇒ ∠ABC = 180 - 94
⇒ ∠ABC = 86
Further, using angle sum property in ΔABC
∠ABC + ∠ACB + ∠BAC = 180
⇒ 54 + 86 + ∠BAC = 180
⇒ ∠BAC = 180 - 140
⇒ ∠BAC = 40
Thus, ∠BAC = 40
Therefore, the correct option is (c).
