Q24 of 50 Page 6

In Fig., X = 62°, XYZ = 54°. If YO and ZO are the bisectors of XYZ and XZY respectively of Δ XYZ, find OZY and YOZ.

Given: X = 62o, XYZ = 54o


YO and ZO are the bisectors of XYZ and XZY respectively.
To Find
OZY and YOZ.


Now, according to the question,


X + XYZ + XZY = 180o(Sum of the interior angles of a triangle = 180°)


62o + 54o + XZY = 180o


116o + XZY = 180o


XZY = 64o


Now,


As ZO is the bisector of XZY


OZY = 1/2 XZY


OZY = 32o


And,


As YO is bisector of XYZ


OYZ = 1/2 XYZ


OYZ = 27o


Now,


OZY + OYZ + O = 180o(Sum of the interior angles of the triangle = 180°)


32o + 27o + O = 180o


59o + O = 180o


O = 121o
