    Could this be an Orthogonal Projection problem which could use the theorem related to an orthogonal projection and obtuse angles. "In an obtuse-angled triangle, the square on the side subtending the obtuse angle is equal to the sum of the square on the sides containing the obtuse-angle together with twice the rectangle contained by one of those sides and the orthogonal projection of the other side upon it." BC²=AC²+AB²+ 2(AB)*(DA) 49=25+9+2(3)(DA). DA= 5/2 . . . DA equals half hypotenuse, therefore triangle CDA is 30-60-90, and angle DAC = 60°. Therefore angle CAB = 180° - 60°= 120°

    First, i went for the height from A to BC, which didn't deliver "nice" angles, but helped to get the idea of the task giver (used an arcsin calculation here). Then i looked for something giving the opposite angle of x and landet at the same as in the video. Nice exercise for cases where the quadratic terms vanish by themselves.

    Once we establish AD=5/2 (half the hypotenuse of triangle ADC), it immediately follows that ADC is 30-60-90 and angle x is 120 degrees. There is no need to find the length of DC (other than getting more exercise with the Pythagorean Theorem).

    1) The Sides of Triangle [ABC] are in a Sequence : 3 2) Calculating the Triangle Area by Herons Formula. Perimeter = 15 ; Semi Perimeter = 15/2 = 7,5 ; Area = 6,5 3) Being A' the point of perpendicularity over BC or height, height = AA' * 7 = 6,5 * 2 ; AA' = 13/7 ~ 1,86 4) 1,86 / 5 = sin(C) ; Thus, C = 21,84º 5) 1,86 / 3 = sin(B) ; Thus B = 38,32º 6) 180º - (21,84º + 38,2º) = 180 - 60,16º = 119,84º 7) Answer: I believe the right solution is x = 120º

Call it A'. 3) Divide the Area by 7. 4) Calculate the Height AA'. 5) Calculate the Angles ABC and ACB by means of Trigonometric Operations; Sine. 6) Find the angle Xº

    By the Law of Cosines, 7² = 3² + 5² - 2(3)(5).cos(x). So 49 - 34 = - 30.cos(x). ∴ cos(x) = -1/2. Thus x = 120°. Also |AD|/|AC|= (5/2)/5 =1/2. So cos(180°-x)= 60°. Thus 180°-x=60°. ∴ x=120° again. Definitely not Olympiad level.

    This method has a drawback - it cannot be applied as universal on a wide scale - change CB length from 7 to 6 units and our attempt ends in a fiasco... Almost no one can predict angle value starting to solve the problem. The Law of cosine is much more universal. But a calculator (trig tables) is required. 😅
