Correct option is A
We are tasked to determine ∠ ACD in △ ABC when a line is drawn parallel to AB and the ratio of angles ∠A:∠B:∠C = 2 : 3 : 4 .
Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Given:
- Ratio of angles ∠A:∠B:∠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 180∘ .
- Let k be the common multiplier. Then:
∠A=2k,∠B=3k,∠C=4k
2k + 3k + 4k = 180∘
9k=180∘=>k=20∘
- Substituting k :
∠A=40∘,∠B=60∘,∠C=80∘
3. Properties of the parallel line:
- The line drawn parallel to AB forms alternate interior angles with △ ABC .
- Hence, ∠ACD=∠A
Final Answer:
∠ACD=40∘
