Question

In a △ABC, ∠A:∠B:∠C=2:3:4.A line drawn parallel to AB , then the ∠ACD is.

A.

4040^∘​​

B.

6060^∘​​

C.

8080^∘​​

D.

2020^∘

Correct option is A

We are tasked to determine \angle​ ACD in \triangle​ ABC when a line is drawn parallel to AB and the ratio of angles A:B:C\angle A : \angle B : \angle C​ = 2 : 3 : 4 .

Step-by-Step Solution:

1. Given:

- Ratio of angles A:B:C=2:3:4\angle A : \angle B : \angle C = 2 : 3 : 4

- Line parallel to AB is drawn.

2. Calculate the angles of \triangle ABC :

- The sum of angles in a triangle is 180180^\circ​ .

- Let k be the common multiplier. Then:

A=2k,B=3k,C=4k\angle A = 2k, \quad \angle B = 3k, \quad \angle C = 4k

2k + 3k + 4k = 180180^\circ

9k=180=>k=209k = 180^\circ \quad \Rightarrow \quad k = 20^\circ

- Substituting k :

A=40,B=60,C=80\angle A = 40^\circ, \quad \angle B = 60^\circ, \quad \angle C = 80^\circ

3. Properties of the parallel line:

- The line drawn parallel to AB forms alternate interior angles with \triangle​ ABC .

- Hence, ACD=A\angle ACD = \angle A

Final Answer:

ACD=40\boxed{\angle ACD = 40^\circ}
