1. Problem Description
We are given a triangle ABD with angle , angle , and angle . We need to find the size of the reflex angle BCD.
2. Solution Steps
First, we need to find the angle ACB using the fact that angles in triangle ABC add to .
Therefore,
Next, we need to find the angle CDB using the fact that angles in triangle ABD add to .
Therefore,
This value doesn't agree with given in the picture, because the picture shows that it should be a triangle ABC but not a triangle ABD. Therefore, there should be an angle ABC instead of angle ABD and we should use in the calculation of .
Now we need to find . We know that angles around a point add up to . The reflex angle BCD is .
Therefore, the reflex angle BCD is .
3. Final Answer
246 degrees
