Problem

In the quadrilateral point is the middle of the side , point is the middle of the side , point is the middle of the side . Turns out that the segment is perpendicular to , and segment is perpendicular to . Find the angle given .
Solution
Since the segment is both altitude and median in (Fig. 2), this triangle is isosceles, therefore . Analogously, is isosceles, hence . Moreover, from the statement of the problem, point is the middle of the segment . Hence, we obtain that , i.e. is also isosceles, which means .
Final answer
70°
