Click For Summary
In triangle ABC, with AB equal to AC and an inner point D such that AB, AC, and BD are equal, the problem seeks to find angle ADC given that angle DCB is 30 degrees. The discussion revolves around solving for angle ADC using the properties of isosceles triangles and the given angle. Participants express varying levels of difficulty with the problem, indicating it may serve as a challenge for some members. The solution requires applying geometric principles to derive the desired angle. Ultimately, the focus is on finding angle ADC based on the established conditions.

$\triangle ABC, \overline{AB}=\overline {AC}$,there exists an inner point ${D}$ and satisfyng :
(1)$\overline {AB}=\overline {AC}=\overline {BD}$
(2)$\angle DCB=30^o$
find $\angle ADC=?$

Are these problems you need help with? Or are they just for members to try?

my solution
explanation :
GD//BC
let DE=GH=1,
EF=FH=x,
AK=y
$\angle DEC=\angle GHB=90^o$
Triangle AGD is an equilateral triangle

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
