Can you solve this triangle puzzle where the answer is not what it seems viral geometry problem
I found this geometry problem on Twitter and nobody in my class can solve it:
In triangle , angle , angle , angle .
Point lies on such that .
Point lies on such that .
Find .
I tried using the sum of angles in triangles and got multiple possible answers. One person said , another said .
I think this requires constructing an equilateral triangle somewhere or using the law of sines. Can someone solve this with a clear geometric construction approach?
Also the answer is apparently but I dont see how.
I keep trying to solve this and getting different answers each time
the trick is constructing an equilateral triangle on AB. then you get congruent triangles that reveal the missing angle.

Could you add one more line on the condition where this method fails?
