In rhombus ABCD, the bisector of angle BAC intersects side BC and diagonal BD, respectively
In rhombus ABCD, the bisector of angle BAC intersects side BC and diagonal BD, respectively, at points M and N. Find angle ANB if AMC is 120 degrees.
The diagonals of the rhombus divide the angles at the vertices in half, then the angle BAC = BCA.
Since, by condition, AM is the bisector of the angle BAC, then the angle BAM = MAC = BCA / 2.
Let the angle MAC = X0, then the angle BCA = 2 * X.
Consider a triangle AMC, the sum of the angles of which is: X + 2 * X + 120 = 180.
3 * X = 60.
X = 20.
Then the angle BAC = 2 * 20 = 400, and the angle BCD = BAD = 2 * 40 = 80.
The opposite angles of the rhombus are equal, and the sum of all the angles is 360.
Then the angle ABC = (360 – 80 – 80) / 2 = 100.
Angle AED = ABN = ABC / 2 = 100/2 = 50.
Then the angle ABN = 180 – BAN – ABN = 180 – 20 – 50 = 110.
Answer: Angle ABN = 110.
