in question number 2 from the topic test-RHS congruence rule, they have proved that angle DBC=angleACB that is equal to 60degrees. so to find angle BDF we have to add anglesDBC and DCB that is supposed to be 60 degrees+60 degrees, but in the soluions, they have added 90degrees and 60degrees. My question is why did they add 90degrees+60degrees when they actually had to add 60+60 and the answer then will be 120 degrees, but the solutions shows the answer is 150degress. why did they add 90+60 when they had to add 60+60

Here is the complete solution.


In  ABC and DCB, ABC = DCB     90° each       AC = DB            given       BC = BC             common ABC  DCB  RHSACB = DBC   CPCTNow, ACB = 60°So,  DBC = ACB = 60°Since, BDF is an exterior angle of DCB, then BDF = DBC + DCB   Exterior angle theoremBDF = 60° + 90° = 150°

Hope this would have clear your doubt.
