Solution
In △ABC, AB = AC
∴ ∠ABC = ∠ACB (Angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
⇒ x = 50∘
In △BDC, DB = DC
∴ ∠DBC= ∠DCB (Angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
⇒ y = 60∘
Now, ∠ABD = ∠ABC + ∠DBC
= 50∘ + 60∘
= 110∘
Also, ∠ACD = ∠ACB + ∠DCB
= 50∘ + 60∘
= 110∘
Hence, the values of x and y are 50∘ and 60∘ respectively.
