Now, for any triangle ABC where angleBAC is given: k = angleBAC, v = angleBPC : show that k = 2v Let u = angleABP v = 180 - (180 - k - u) - (k + 2u)/2 Multiply by 2: 2v = 360 - 2(180 - k - u) - (k + 2u) simplify: 2v = k

In $\Delta{BPC}$ $\widehat{BCP}+\widehat{BPC}+\widehat{PBC} = 180^\circ$ $\widehat{BPC}=180^\circ-(\widehat{BCP}+\widehat{PBC})$ $=180^\circ-(\widehat{BCA}+\frac{180-\widehat{BCA}}{2}+\frac{\widehat{ABC}}{2})$ $=180^\circ-\frac{2\widehat{BCA}+180^\circ-\widehat{BCA}+\widehat{ABC}}{2}$ $=180^\circ-\frac{180^\circ+\widehat{BCA}+\widehat{ABC}}{2}$ $=180^\circ-\frac{180^\circ+180^\circ-\widehat{BAC}}{2}$ $=180^\circ-\frac{180^\circ+180^\circ-40^\circ}{2}$ $=20^\circ$ Last edited by Ganesh Ujwal; April 6th, 2018 at 07:03 PM.

Hey, how come your English suddenly got better?
My last post says ANY triangle (not isosceles).
in order for YOU to get familiar with the process...

Are we now finally finished with this charade?
