Correct Answer: 56°
Solution :
Let $\angle$BAD = z then $\angle$ADC = 2z In $\triangle $ABC, ⇒ $\angle$A + $\angle$B + $\angle$C = 180º ⇒ 80° + $\angle$B + 38° = 180º ⇒ $\angle$B + 118° = 180º ⇒ $\angle$B = 62º In $\triangle $ABD, ⇒ $\angle$A + $\angle$B = $\angle$ADC (The sum of two opposite angles is equal to the external angle) ⇒ z + 62º = 2z ⇒ z = 62º And, ⇒ $\angle$ABD + $\angle$BAD + $\angle$ADB = 180º ⇒ 62º + 62º + $\angle$ADB = 180º ⇒ $\angle$ADB = 180º – 124º = 56º Hence, the correct answer is 56º.
