1. Problem Description

We are given that mACT=15a8m\angle ACT = 15a - 8 and mACB=74m\angle ACB = 74. Also, S is the incenter of ABC\triangle ABC. We need to find aa and mACTm\angle ACT.

2. Solution Steps

Since S is the incenter of ABC\triangle ABC, CT is the angle bisector of ACB\angle ACB.
Therefore, mACT=12mACBm\angle ACT = \frac{1}{2} m\angle ACB.
Substitute the given values:
15a8=12×7415a - 8 = \frac{1}{2} \times 74
15a8=3715a - 8 = 37
15a=37+815a = 37 + 8
15a=4515a = 45
a=4515a = \frac{45}{15}
a=3a = 3
Now, substitute a=3a = 3 into the expression for mACTm\angle ACT:
mACT=15a8m\angle ACT = 15a - 8
mACT=15(3)8m\angle ACT = 15(3) - 8
mACT=458m\angle ACT = 45 - 8
mACT=37m\angle ACT = 37

3. Final Answer

a=3a = 3 and mACT=37m\angle ACT = 37.
