Hi there,
Need some help with this circle geometry question:
Point P is marked inside a regular hexagon ABCDEF so that Angle BAP = Angle DCP = 50 degrees.
Find the size of angle ABP.
Thanks!

Care to elaborate? What theorems? How did you arrive at that conclusion?Quote:

So all the base angles are 50d or 70d.

How do you know that the triangles are congruent? They are most certainly not. Only one side is equal in each of the triangles, that is all you know.
