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 ABCABC and asks how the angles of the triangle change when point CC is moved along the line segment BCBC. Specifically, we need to determine how mABCm\angle ABC, mBACm\angle BAC, and mACBm\angle ACB change when CC moves toward BB and when CC moves away from BB.

2. Solution Steps

When point CC moves toward point BB along BCBC:
* mABCm\angle ABC: Since CC is approaching BB, the length of BCBC decreases. The angle ABCABC will decrease as CC approaches BB.
* mBACm\angle BAC: As CC approaches BB, the angle BACBAC increases, since the length ACAC is decreasing, thereby widening the angle at A.
* mACBm\angle ACB: Since the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, mACBm\angle ACB = 180mABCmBAC180^\circ - m\angle ABC - m\angle BAC. Since mABCm\angle ABC decreases and mBACm\angle BAC increases as CC approaches BB, but mABCm\angle ABC is approaching 00, and mBACm\angle BAC is approaching 180mBAC180-m\angle BAC, therefore mACBm\angle ACB will approach 0 as CC approaches BB.
When point CC moves away from point BB along BCBC:
* mABCm\angle ABC: As CC moves away from BB, the length of BCBC increases. Therefore mABCm\angle ABC increases.
* mBACm\angle BAC: As CC moves away from BB, the angle BACBAC decreases.
* mACBm\angle ACB: As CC moves away from BB, mABCm\angle ABC increases and mBACm\angle BAC decreases. Therefore, mACBm\angle ACB increases.

3. Final Answer

If you move point CC toward point BB along BCBC, mABCm\angle ABC decreases, mBACm\angle BAC increases, and mACBm\angle ACB decreases.
If you move point CC away from point BB along BCBC, mABCm\angle ABC increases, mBACm\angle BAC decreases, and mACBm\angle ACB increases.
