In △ABC, D is the midpoint of AB, while E lies on BC satisfying BE = 2EC. If m∠ADC=m∠BAE, what is the measure of ∠BAC in degrees? I know already that angle A and angle D are congruent because m∠ADC=m∠BAE I just dont know how to approach the problem and i would love some help

0I couldn't understand what does $D$ have to do with the exercise. Also, what is do you mean by "If m∠BAE,..."? – 2011-05-16

1Have you tried making a drawing? – 2011-05-16

2I think user forgot to include the measure of angle BAE... @Briana: could you edit your post, and this time include the question in the post itself, along with missing info? – 2011-05-16

1@Briana791: Please edit your post, being careful to indicate carefully what the problem is. There are some puzzling things about your question. For example, you mention that $D$ is the midpoint of $AB$. But $D$ seems to have nothing further to do with the question. And you write "If $m\angle BAE$." If **what** is known about this angle? Don't try to squeeze it all into the title! – 2011-05-16

5I'd say that if the OP doesn't complete the question, perhaps it should be closed? – 2011-05-16

5I voted to reopen, but I'd recommend that you explain a bit what you've tried. Also, the scan is a bit hard to read. (please vote this comment up so that it can be seen) – 2011-05-17

0I've got the drawing labeled, with the question, and edit the post, simply to insert the image. I'll leave it to @Briana to give some details about what's been tried... – 2011-05-17

0However, if you'd rather the OP improve the drawing (redraw if necessary), I'm fine with that. – 2011-05-17
