In triangle ABC, the angle bisector of BAC meets ¯BC at D. If BAC=60, CAD=45, and AD=24, then find the area of triangle ABC.

This problem doesn't make sense.

let me elaborate on what BRAINBOLT said.

 

See, if D lies on the angle bisector of BAC, and angle BAC is 60 degrees, then angle CAD cannot be 45. 

This is because since D lies on the bisector, CAD would therefore be half of BAC, which is 30. 

 

So, this problem is invalid, 

 

Thanks! :)
