In Figure 4, ABCD is a rectangle. Its diagonals AC and BD intersect each
other at O. AC is produced to E such that ECD is 140°. Find the measure of the
angles of triangle AOB.
Answers
Measure of all the angles in ∆AOB;
/_AOB = 80°
/_OBA = 40°
/_OAC = 60°
GIVEN
ABCD is a rectangle.
/_ ECD = 140°
Diagonal = AC & BD
TO FIND
Measure of angles of triangle AOB
SOLUTION
We can simply solve the above problem as follows -
/_ ECD = 140°
We know,
/_ECD + /_DCO = 180°
( sum of linear pair of angles in 180° )
/_DCO = 180 - 140 = 40°
We know,
Diagonals bisects the angle in equal halves.
/_ BCO = /_DCO = 40°
NOW In ∆ BOC ,( isoceles triangle )
OB = OC.
/_ OBC = /_OCB = 40°
/_BOC + /_OCB + /_OBC = 180°
(sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180°)
/_BOC = 180°- (40° + 40° ) = 100°
NOW ,
/_ BOC + /_AOB = 180°
(sum of linear pair of angles in 180°)
/_ AOB = 180 - 100 = 80°
Since the diagonal BD bisects the /_ ABD into two equal halves .
/_ABO = /_OBC = 40°
In ∆AOB
/_ AOB+ /_OBA + /_ BAO = 180°
80 + 40 + /_OAC = 180°
/_OAC = 180- 120 = 60°
Hence, in ∆AOB;
/_AOB = 80°
/_OBA = 40°
/_OAC = 60°
