The problem describes a triangle $ABC$ and asks how the angles of the triangle change when point $C$ is moved along the line segment $BC$. Specifically, we need to determine how $m\angle ABC$, $m\angle BAC$, and $m\angle ACB$ change when $C$ moves toward $B$ and when $C$ moves away from $B$.

1. Problem Description
The problem describes a triangle and asks how the angles of the triangle change when point is moved along the line segment . Specifically, we need to determine how , , and change when moves toward and when moves away from .
2. Solution Steps
When point moves toward point along :
* : Since is approaching , the length of decreases. The angle will decrease as approaches .
* : As approaches , the angle increases, since the length is decreasing, thereby widening the angle at A.
* : Since the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, = . Since decreases and increases as approaches , but is approaching , and is approaching , therefore will approach 0 as approaches .
When point moves away from point along :
* : As moves away from , the length of increases. Therefore increases.
* : As moves away from , the angle decreases.
* : As moves away from , increases and decreases. Therefore, increases.
3. Final Answer
If you move point toward point along , decreases, increases, and decreases.
If you move point away from point along , increases, decreases, and increases.
