Question:

The side BC of a triangle ABC is extended to the point D. If ∠ACD = 132° and ∠B=$\frac{4}{7}$ ∠A, then the measure of ∠A is equal to:

Options:

60°

80°

50°

84°

Correct Answer:

84°

Explanation:

The angle made by straight line = 180° 

So,  BCD forms a straight line

∠BCA = 180° – 132° = 48° 

Now, Sum of all angles of a triangle = 180° 

 ∠B + ∠C + ∠A = 180° 

(4/7) × ∠A + ∠A = 180° – 48° 

(11/7) × ∠A = 132° 

 ∠A = 84°
