In the figure below, the line passing through A and D is parallel to the line
passing through B and C. ABC is a right-angle triangle. AB = AC, BC = CD.
Find ACD

Add the lines AX, CD, DE and EF as shown in the Figure 1, such that
EF CB, CE CB, AX CB.

AB = AC and BAC is 90 ABC is a isosceles right-angle triangle,
therefore, ABX and ACX are also isosceles right-angle triangles.
So, BX = XC = CY = YE and ACY = ACX = 45

BC = CE = DE CDE is an equilateral triangle.
, DCY = 60

ACD = DCY - ACY = 60 - 45 = 15

ACD = 15
