Question: …ngle and an isosceles triangle share a common side. What is the measure of $\angle ABC$?
$\angle ABC$ is $115^\circ$.
Graph: top-right, a quadrilateral-like figure with vertices $A$ bottom-left, $B$ upper-left, $C$ upper-right, and $D$ lower-right; diagonal $BD$ is drawn. Tick marks indicate $AB = BD$, $BC = CD$, and a separate tick on the shared side/segment at the left. The angle at $A$ is marked $70^\circ$.
1. **Problem Statement:**
We have a quadrilateral $ABCD$ with diagonal $BD$. It is given that $AB = BD$ and $BC = CD$, meaning triangles $ABD$ and $BCD$ are isosceles. The angle at $A$ is $70^\circ$. We need to find the measure of $\angle ABC$.
2. **Analyze the triangles:**
- Since $AB = BD$, triangle $ABD$ is isosceles with $AB = BD$.
- Since $BC = CD$, triangle $BCD$ is isosceles with $BC = CD$.
3. **Use the given angle:**
$\angle BAD = 70^\circ$ (angle at $A$ in triangle $ABD$).
4. **Find angles in triangle $ABD$:**
Since $AB = BD$, angles opposite these sides are equal:
$$\angle ABD = \angle ADB = x$$
Sum of angles in triangle $ABD$:
$$70^\circ + x + x = 180^\circ$$
$$2x = 110^\circ$$
$$x = 55^\circ$$
So,
$$\angle ABD = 55^\circ$$
5. **Find $\angle ABC$:**
Note that $\angle ABC$ is the angle at $B$ in quadrilateral $ABCD$. It is composed of $\angle ABD$ (in triangle $ABD$) and $\angle DBC$ (in triangle $BCD$).
6. **Find $\angle DBC$ in triangle $BCD$:**
Since $BC = CD$, triangle $BCD$ is isosceles with base $BD$.
Let $\angle BCD = \angle CBD = y$.
Sum of angles in triangle $BCD$:
$$y + y + \angle BDC = 180^\circ$$
$$2y + \angle BDC = 180^\circ$$
7. **Find $\angle BDC$:**
$\angle BDC$ and $\angle ADB$ are adjacent angles on a straight line at point $D$.
Since $\angle ADB = 55^\circ$ (from step 4),
$$\angle BDC = 180^\circ - 55^\circ = 125^\circ$$
8. **Calculate $y$:**
$$2y + 125^\circ = 180^\circ$$
$$2y = 55^\circ$$
$$y = 27.5^\circ$$
9. **Calculate $\angle ABC$:**
$$\angle ABC = \angle ABD + \angle DBC = 55^\circ + 27.5^\circ = 82.5^\circ$$
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{82.5^\circ}$$
