Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the angle subtended by an arc of a circle at the centre is double the angle subtended by the arc at any point on the circumference
. So we get
∠AOB = 2 ∠ACB
From the figure we know that
∠ACB = ∠DCB
It can be written as
∠AOB = 2 ∠DCB
We also know that
∠DCB = ½ ∠AOB
By substituting the values
∠DCB = 40o/2
By division
∠DCB = 20o
In △ DBC Using the angle sum property
∠BDC + ∠DCB + ∠DBC = 180
By substituting the values we get
100o + 20o + ∠DBC = 180o
On further calculation
∠DBC = 180o – 100o – 20o
By subtraction
∠DBC = 180o – 120o
So we get
∠DBC = 60o
From the figure we know that
∠OBC = ∠DBC = 60o
So we get ∠OBC = 60o
Therefore, ∠OBC = 60o
