Here’s a hard one. Find the value of .
if AB + BP = AQ +QB?

 is called beta

1. Extend line AB to a point called R.
2. Make BR equal in length to BP.
3. Since AB+BP = AQ+QB, you can prove that AR=AC.
4. Triangle BRP is an isosceles triangle with the big angle equal to 180
degrees —2 beta.
5. Thus, angle BRP has to equal beta.
6. If angle BRP=beta, then angle ACB also equals beta because line AP
bisects angle A.
7. Therefore the two halves of the chevron formed by points A, R, P, and C
are identical.
8. If angle C = beta and angle B=2 beta, then beta has to equal 40
degrees for the triangle ABC to add to 180 degrees.
