Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
In triangle ABC, point D is on segment BC, the measure of angle BAC is 40 degrees, and triangle ABD is a reflection of triangle ACD over segment AD. What is the measure of angle B?

[asy]
size(101);
pair B = (0,0); pair C = (2,0); pair D = (1,0); pair A = (1, tan(70*pi/180));
draw(A--B--C--cycle,linewidth(1));

draw(A--D,linetype("2 4")+linewidth(1));
label("D",D,S);[/asy]
Original LaTeX notation
In triangle $ABC$, point $D$ is on segment $BC$, the measure of angle $BAC$ is 40 degrees, and triangle $ABD$ is a reflection of triangle $ACD$ over segment $AD$. What is the measure of angle $B$?

[asy]
size(101);
pair B = (0,0); pair C = (2,0); pair D = (1,0); pair A = (1, tan(70*pi/180));
draw(A--B--C--cycle,linewidth(1));
label("$A$",A,N); label("$B$",B,W); label("$C$",C,E);

draw(A--D,linetype("2 4")+linewidth(1));
label("$D$",D,S);[/asy]
