in the given figure the measure of angle ABC is
Answers
Answer:
x + 20 + 100 = 180 (sum of angles in a ∆)
=) x + 120 = 180
=) x = 180 - 120
=) x = ABC = 60°

The measure of the angle ABC is 80°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
In the figure, ∠AOD=20°, exterior ∠C= 100°
To find:
m∠ABC
Solution:
In the figure, angles AOD and BOC will be equal
∠AOD= ∠BOC..........(vertically opposite angles)
∴ ∠AOD= ∠BOC = 20°......(i)
Now, exterior angle C and angle DCB are in linear pair
∴ exterior ∠C+ ∠DCB= 180°........(angles in linear pair have a sum of 180°)
∴ 100°+ ∠DCB = 180°
∴ ∠DCB = 180°-100°
∴ ∠DCB = 80°..........(ii)
Now, in ΔBOC, ∠BOC= 20°, ∠DCB= 80°
∠OBC+ ∠BOC+ ∠OCB=180°.....(sum of angles of a triangle is 180°)
Now, ∠OBC= ∠ABC & ∠OCB=∠DCB....(angles in same line)
∴ ∠ABC+ 20°+80°=180°.....[from (i) & (ii)]
∴ ∠ABC+100°= 180°
∴ ∠ABC= 180°-100°
∴ ∠ABC= 80°
Thus the measure of angle ABC is 80°
