Click For Summary
In triangle ABC, with angle ABC measuring 45 degrees and point D on line segment BC such that 2BD equals CD and angle DAB is 15 degrees, the goal is to find angle ACB. A point M is identified between A and D where angle MBD equals 30 degrees, leading to the conclusion that AD equals the square root of 3 plus 1. The relationship between angles results in angle CMD being 90 degrees and angle MCA being 45 degrees. Ultimately, angle ACB is determined to be 75 degrees, confirmed by multiple participants in the discussion.

$\triangle ABC , \angle ABC=45^o,\,\, point \,\, D\,\, on \,\, \,\overline{BC} $

$and,\,\, 2\overline{BD}=\overline{CD},\,\, \angle DAB=15^o$

$find :\,\, \angle ACB=?$

Find a point $M$ between $A$ and $D$ such that $\angle MBD=30$. Note that $MD=DM$ and $AM=MB$. Say $BD=1$. The above leads to $AD=\sqrt 3 + 1$. Further note that $\angle CMD=90$ and hence $\angle MCA=45$. Consequently $\angle ACB=75$.

from the diagram it is easy to see that :
$\angle ACB =30^o +45^o =75^o$
Awesome!
