♠ Firstly, BO is the bisector of ∠CBE.

=> ∠CBO = ∠OBE = ½∠CBE .... (i)



♠ Similarly CO is the bisector of ∠BCD

=> ∠BCO = ∠OCD = ½∠BCD ....(ii)





♠ Now, since ABE is a straight line, so by linear pair,

∠ABC + ∠CBE = 180°


• Multiplying by 1/2 on both sides,

=> (½ × ∠ABC) + (½ × ∠CBE) = (½ × 180°)

=> ½∠B + ½∠CBE = 90°

=> ½∠B + ∠CBO = 90° ...(using eq i)

=> ∠CBO = (90° - ½∠B) ....(iii)




♠ Similarly, since ACD is also a straight line, we can find that,

=> ∠BCO = (90° - ½∠C) ....(iv)




♠ Now, we know that, sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°.

So, in ∆OBC,

∠CBO + ∠BCO + ∠BOC = 180°

=> (90° - ½∠B) + (90° - ½∠C) + ∠BOC = 180°

=> 90° + 90° - ½∠B - ½∠C + ∠BOC = 180°

=> 180° - ½(∠B + ∠C) + ∠BOC = 180°

=> ∠BOC - ½(∠B + ∠C) = 0 ...(cancelling 180°)

=> ∠BOC = ½(∠B + ∠C) ...(shifting to R.H.S)


Now, adding and subtracting ½∠A in L.H.S

=> ∠BOC = ½(∠A + ∠B + ∠C) - ½∠A

=> ∠BOC = ½(180°) - ½∠A ...(sum of all sides = 180°)

=> ∠BOC = 90° - ½∠A

=> ∠BOC = 90° - ½∠BAC
