1. Problem Description

We are given a triangle ABC with angle ABC = 4040^{\circ} and angle ACB = 120120^{\circ}. We need to find the size of angle BAC.

2. Solution Steps

We know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180180^{\circ}. Therefore,
BAC+ABC+ACB=180 \angle BAC + \angle ABC + \angle ACB = 180^{\circ}
We are given that ABC=40\angle ABC = 40^{\circ} and ACB=120\angle ACB = 120^{\circ}. Substituting these values into the equation, we have
BAC+40+120=180 \angle BAC + 40^{\circ} + 120^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}
BAC+160=180 \angle BAC + 160^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}
Subtracting 160160^{\circ} from both sides of the equation gives
BAC=180160 \angle BAC = 180^{\circ} - 160^{\circ}
BAC=20 \angle BAC = 20^{\circ}

3. Final Answer

The size of angle BAC is 2020^{\circ}.
