The heights drawn to the sides AB and BC of an isosceles triangle ABC meet at point M.

The heights drawn to the sides AB and BC of an isosceles triangle ABC meet at point M. Line BM intersects the base of AC at point N. Define ∡ABN if ABC = 80 °.

Since, by condition, the triangle is isosceles, then the height BN, drawn from the apex of the triangle, is also its median, and the bisector of the angle ABC. Then the angle ABN = ABC / 2 = 80/2 = 40.

Answer: Angle ABN = 40.
