    At a quick glance, Using a similar method to the video, I used the exterior angle of ABC =6x+4x +26x = 36x. Then angle DBC = 180 - 40x. DBC is isosceles and angles BDC and DCB = 20x. Alpha = 26x -20x = 6x. Then ADC is isosceles and DBC is equilateral then 180 - 40x = 20 x. Then 60 * x = 180 and x = 3.

    as AD=DB, draw a circle around the triangle with center D radius AD and since every triagngle can be drawn inside a circle, ABC lie on the circle.
    now by central angle theorem,
    2angle C=angle D=52x
    in ∆adb, (4+4+52)x=180=> x=3

    Nice. I always appreciate a good geometric solution, since that is my weak point.
    Here is my trigonometric solution:
    Let a = BC = AD = BD. Let c = AB.
    Since △ABD is isosceles, ∠DAB = ∠DBA = 4x
    and we can drop perpendicular from D that bisects AB at point E → AE = BE = c/2
    cos(4x) = AE/AD = (c/2)/a → c/a = 2 cos(4x)
    Using law of sines in △ABC, we get:
    c/a = sin C / sin A = sin(26x) / sin(6x+4x) = sin(26x) / sin(10x)
    Now we set both expressions for c/a equal to each other and solve for x:
    sin(26x) / sin(10x) = 2 cos(4x)
    sin(14x+12x) = 2 sin(10x) cos(4x)
    sin 14x cos 12x + cos 14x sin 12x = 2 * 1/2 [sin(10x+4x) + sin(10x−4x)]
    sin 14x (1 − 2 sin²(6x)) + cos 14x (2 sin 6x cos 6x) = sin 14x + sin 6x
    sin 14x − 2 sin²(6x) sin 14x + 2 sin 6x cos 6x cos 14x = sin 14x + sin 6x
    −2 sin²(6x) sin 14x + 2 sin 6x cos 6x cos 14x = sin 6x
    2 sin 6x (cos 6x cos 14x − sin 6x sin 14x) = sin 6x
    cos 6x cos 14x − sin 6x sin 14x = 1/2
    cos(6x+14x) = 1/2
    cos 20x = cos 60°
    20x = 60°
    x = 3°

    Would´nt it be much easier to add up the numbers of x´s + 4 x for the second angle in the yellow triangel coming to 40 x. The unmarked angel must be 60° as part o an equal sided triangel.
    180° of the big triangel - 60° leaves 120°, which divided by 40 lead to X = 3° ?

    Here's a more algebraic approach. All angle measurements are in degrees:
    Angle DAB = 4x; so angle CAB = 10x. Therefore angle ABC = 180 -- 36x and angle DBC = 180 -- 40x [1].
    Now draw line CD. Angle BCD = angle BDC. If we let angle ACD = alpha, then angle DCB = angle BDC = 26x -- alpha. So angle DBC = 180 -- 2(26x -- alpha) = 180 -- 52x + 2(alpha) [2].
    We now have two independent expressions for angle DBC. Equating expressions [1] and [2]:
    180 -- 40x = 180 -- 52x + 2(alpha); subtract 180 from both sides:
    --40x = --52x + 2(alpha); add 52x to both sides:
    12x = 2(alpha); so alpha = 6x. This means that triangle ADC is isosceles and line CD = line AD = line BD = line BC; so triangle BCD is equilateral, which I suspected from the beginning.
    So angle DCB = 60 degrees = 26x -- 6x = 20x; and x = 60/20 = 3 degrees.
    Veni, Vidi, Vici. 🤠

    Hi i use diffrent method a bit so we dont know angle b we label it as 180-40x and we draw line from c to d and we know that it is an icoseles triangle so 180-(180-40x)/2 = 20x and when we remove from other side 26-20 =6x so another icoseles triangle 6x-6x and on the right it becomes a equilatoral so every angle becomes 60 when we do 20x=60° x=3

    ADB is isosceles, so slot 4x in by A
    10X + 26x + 4x + ax = 180
    Find a.
    A line DC would make BCD isosceles with angles ax, bx, bx.
    I reckon that flipping the DA line into the DC position would give an equilateral, but I can't prove that without knowing the angles at B and C.
    If it did, the angle at C would be split into 6x and 20x.
    If 20x = 60deg, x = 3deg (sounds like some old singers) :).
    I will try it: Full angle at A would be 10x so 30deg
    C: 26x so 78deg
    B: 24x so 72deg.
    Well I'll be damned. x seems to be 3deg.
    It wasn't very mathematical - more second guessing and intuition. I imagine other answers may be possible though.

    ∆ABC → AF = AD + DF = BE = BD + DE
    CAB = 10x; DAB = FAB = 4x; CAD = CAF = 6x; BCA = 26 x
    4, 6, 10, 26 = integer → x = integer as well
    circle around ∆ ABC with center M and radius r = AM = BM = CM = EM = FM →
    BCA = 26x → BMA = 52x
    EBA = 4x → EMA = 8x
    FAB = 4x →FMB = 8x
    CAF = 6x → CMF = 12x
    φ = 30° → 52x < 6φ < 68x → 6φ/52 > 6φ/68 → 3,46 > 2,65 → x = 3 →
    CAB = 10x = φ → BCA = 26x = 13φ/5 → ABC = 12φ/5
    btw: M = D

    AD=BD, the angle DAB=4x
    so, the angle DBC=180-4x-4x-6x-26x=180-40x
    it was known as BD=BC, so angle BDC=BCD.
    prove that
    angle BDC=BCD=(180-DBC)/2=40x/2=20x
    then, the line CD must be equal to BC and BD.
    triangle BCD is equilateral triangle.
    180-40x=20x
    x=3

    An alternative method...perhaps.
    ∠DAB=4x° ⇒∠CAB=10x°
    ∠CAB +∠ACB +∠CBA =180°
    10x° + 26x° + (4x°+ ∠CBD) = 180°
    40x° + ∠CBD = 180°
    Triangle ABC is acute angle triangle.
    x=5 ⇒∠CBD negative. no answer.
    x=4 ⇒ ∠ACB = 26x4=104°. no answer
    x=1 ⇒ ∠ABC = 144°. no answer
    x=2 ⇒ ∠ABC = 108°. no answer.
    x=3 ⇒ ∠ABC = 72°. correct Answer.
    Makes ∠DAB=12°. ∠DAB=12°.
    ∠CAB=30°. ∠ACB=78°. ∠CBA=72°
    ∠DBC=60°.
    Also if x is an integer then we require 180/3=60×. We have 36x add 24x. Therefore x=3 is correct.

    I was playing with the geometry when I found that CD == AD and CD == CB. With that and some other calculations I had made such that angle C = 20x + 6x, I saw that x must equal 3.

    .Too many x😮, angle B=180-40x, so angle D =20x, thus the triangle CBD is an equilateral triangle, then 20x=60, x=3.😊

    Nice Solution!
    But there is a lot easier way to do it:
    *1) All triangles are cyclic so imagine point A, B and C as points on the circumference*
    *2) Since, ΔADB is an isosceles triangle,* _∠DAB = 4x_. So, _∠ADB = 180-(4x+4x) = 180-8x_
    *3) By Angle at the center theorem,* _∠ADB = 26x*2 = 52x_
    *4) This gives us an equation:* _52x = 180-8x_
    *5) Solve:* _52x = 180-8x , 52x+8x = 180 , 60x = 180 , x = 180/60 , _*_[x = 3]_*

  • @unknownidentity2846

    We should find x? Let's do it:
    .
    ..
    ...
    ....
    .....
    AD = BD:
    ∠BAD = ∠ABD = 4x
    ∠BAC = ∠BAD + ∠DAC = 4x + 6x = 10x
    ∠ABC = 180° − ∠BAC − ∠ACB = 180° − 10x − 26x = 180° − 36x
    ∠CBD = ∠ABC − ∠ABD = (180° − 36x) − 4x = 180° − 40x
    BC = BD:
    ∠BCD = ∠BDC = (180° − ∠CBD)/2 = [180° − (180° − 40x)]/2 = 20x
    ∠ACD = ∠ACB − ∠BCD = 26x − 20x = 6x
    ∠CAD = ∠ACD = 6x:
    CD = AD (= BC = BD)
    Since CD = BC = BD, BCD is an equilateral triangle:
    ∠BCD = 60° = 20x
    x = 3°
    This result is checked for the other angles in this triangle:
    ∠BDC = 60° = 20x
    x = 3° ✓
    ∠CBD = 60° = 180° − 40x
    40x = 120°
    x = 3° ✓

      Alternative: like by you at the begining AD=BD => DAB=4x
      Then: ADB=180°-8x
      => ADC+CDB=360°-(180°-8x)
      =180°+8x
      => CBD=360°-(26x+6x+180°+8x)=180°-40x. Because of BD=BC (isosceles triangle) follows (180°-(180°+40x))/2=20x
      => ACD=26x-20x=6x => AD=CD (=BD=BC) and there is an equliteral triangle
      => 60°=20x x=3
