Step-by-step explanation:
Solution (i):
ABCD is a rectangle. We know that the diagonals of the rectangle are equal and bisect each other.
⟹BD=AC and AO=BO=OC=OD
In △ABO,
∠OAB=∠OBA=50
∘
---Angles opposite to the equal sides in a triangle are equal.
In △AOB,
∠AOB+∠OAB+∠OBA=180
∘
---sum of interior angles of a triangle
∴∠AOB=x=180

Solution (ii):
ABCD is a rectangle. We know that the diagonals of the rectangle are equal and bisect each other.
⟹BD=AC and AO=BO=OC=OD
∠OCD+∠DCE=180
∘

---Alternate angles
Solution (iii):
ABCD is a Square
∠ABC=∠BCD=∠CDA=∠DAB=90
∘
---interior angles of a square are equal to 90
∘
BCE is an equilateral triangle
∠EBC=∠BCE=∠BEC=60
