Q7 of 45 Page 27

In ΔABC, bisectors of A and B intersect at point O. If C= 700 Find measure of AOB.

The figure is attached below:


BN and AM are the angle bisectors of angle B and A respectively.



Given C = 70°


In a triangle we know sum of interior angles is 180°


In ΔABC


A + B + C = 180°


A + B = 180° - 70°


A + B = 110°


Now in ΔAOB


AO is the bisector of A


BO is the bisector of B


OAB = A/2 and OBA = B/2


OAB + OBA + AOB = 180°


A/2 + B/2 + AOB = 180°


AOB = 180° - (A + B)/2


AOB = 180° - 110°/2 = 180° - 55°


AOB = 125°
