If somebody solved it in 5 minutes, please let me know. I didn't, and neither di my teacher, friends, cousins and others who were shown the problem. Given an isocele triangle ABC with A = 20 degrees, B = C = 80 deg. On AB take a point D such that AD = BC. Find the angle ABD. Hao-Nhien Vu (pur-ee!norris) If D is on AB, then angle ABD is zero degrees. Do you mean angle ACD?
