Question from Nazrul, a teacher:

In the triangle ABC, AB>AC and the bisector AD of angle BAC intersects BC at D. How can I prove that angle ADB is an obtuse angle.

Hi Nazrul,

triangle

What does the fact that the length of $AB$ is larger than the length of $AC$ tell you about the measures of the angles $ABC$ and $BCA?$
