Question:

D is a point on the side BC of a triangle ABC such that AD ⊥ BC. E is a point on AD for which AD : ED = 5 : 2. If ∠BAD = 30° and tan(∠ACB) = tan3(∠DBF) then ∠ACB = ?

Options:

60°

72°

75°

80°

Correct Answer:

72°

Explanation:

AE : ED = 5 : 2, BAD = 30°

∴ ∠ABD = 90° - 30° = 60

∠DBE = \(\frac{60}{(3+2)}×2\) = 24°

tan(∠ACB) = tan3(∠DBF)

⇒ ∠ACB = 3 × 24° = 72°
