o is the circumcenter of triangle ABC, if angle BAC 85 degree and BCA 55 degree then the value of aoc is what??
Answers
In a triangle ABC if o is the circumcenter then o will be the centre of the circle outsiding the triangle
so we can use the angle in semicircle formula
which is if you draw the triangle surrounded by a circle you will see that angle ABC and angle AOC are angles in a semicirle and angles in a circle
so the theory is that is one angle is in the semicircle and the other angle is in till the end circumference of the circle , then the angle in the semicircle is twice the value of angle in the circle and ends at the circumference
Hence,
2 Angle ABC = x Angle AOC
2x [ 180°-(Angle ACB + Angle BAC)]= Angle AOC
2x [ 180°-(85 + 55)] = AOC
2x [180°-130]=AOC
2 x 50°=AOC
Angle AOC = 100°
