The internal angle bisectors BI and CI of ∠B and ∠C of a ΔABC meet at point I. If ∠A=38
∘
, then what is ∠BIC equal to?
- A120
∘ - B109
∘ - C105
∘ - D125
∘
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Point I is the intersection of internal angle bisectors, which means I is the incenter of ΔABC.
The standard property for the angle formed at the incenter is:
∠BIC=90
