Problem
Let be an isosceles triangle with and . Contruct the circle with diameter , and let and be the other intersection points of the circle with the sides and , respectively. Let be the intersection of the diagonals of the quadrilateral . What is the degree measure of
Solution
Drawing it out, we see and are right angles, as they are inscribed in a semicircle. Using the fact that it is an isosceles triangle, we find . We can find and by the triangle angle sum on and .
\[\angle{BDC}+\angle{DCB}+\angle{DBC}=180^{\circ}\implies90^{\circ}+40^{\circ}+\angle{DBC}\implies\angleDBC=50^{\circ}\] (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
Then, we take triangle , and find
