triangle ABE is an equilateral triangle ABCD is a square find the value of x and y find value of x and you both plz full explain
Answers
Answer:
x is equal to y
Step-by-step explanation:
because corresponding angles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The equilateral triangle AOB lies within the square ABCD. Let us write the value of ∠COD.
To find: ∠COD
As, ABCD is a square and all sides of a square are equal
AB = BC = CD = AD [1]
Also, AOB is an equilateral triangle and all sides of an equilateral triangle are equal
AB = OA = OB [2]
From [1] and [2]
AB = BC = CD = AD = OA = OB [3]
Now,
AD = OA
⇒ ∠AOD = ∠ADO [Angles opposite to equal sides are equal]
In ΔAOD, By angle sum property
∠AOD + ∠ADO + ∠OAD = 180°
⇒ ∠AOD + ∠AOD + (∠CAB - ∠OAB) = 180°
Now, ∠CAB = 90° [Angle in square] and
∠OAB = 60° [Angle in an equilateral triangle]
⇒ 2∠AOD + 90° - 60° = 180°
⇒ 2∠AOD = 150°
⇒ ∠AOD = 75°
Similarly, ∠BOC = 75°
Now,
∠AOD + ∠COD + ∠BOC + ∠AOB = 360°
⇒ 75° + ∠COD + 75° + 60° = 360°
⇒ ∠COD = 150°
