The correct Answer is:
To find the angle \( OAC \) in triangle \( ABC \) where \( \angle A = 65^\circ \) and \( \angle C = 75^\circ \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate \( \angle B \) The sum of the angles in a triangle is always \( 180^\circ \). Therefore, we can find \( \angle B \) using the formula: \[ \angle B = 180^\circ - \angle A - \angle C \] Substituting the known values: \[ \angle B = 180^\circ - 65^\circ - 75^\circ = 40^\circ \] ### Step 2: Use the Angle at the Center Theorem The angle at the center of a circle is twice the angle at the circumference subtended by the same arc. In our case, the angle \( AOC \) at the center \( O \) is twice the angle \( ABC \): \[ \angle AOC = 2 \times \angle B = 2 \times 40^\circ = 80^\circ \] ### Step 3: Determine \( OAC \) and \( OCA \) Since \( O \) is the circumcenter, the segments \( OA \) and \( OC \) are equal (they are both radii of the circumcircle). In triangle \( AOC \), we have: - \( \angle AOC = 80^\circ \) - \( OA = OC \) ### Step 4: Apply the Isosceles Triangle Property In triangle \( AOC \), since \( OA = OC \), the angles opposite these sides are equal: \[ \angle OAC = \angle OCA \] Let \( \angle OAC = \angle OCA = x \). ### Step 5: Set Up the Equation The sum of angles in triangle \( AOC \) gives us: \[ \angle OAC + \angle OCA + \angle AOC = 180^\circ \] Substituting the known values: \[ x + x + 80^\circ = 180^\circ \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x + 80^\circ = 180^\circ \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( x \) Subtract \( 80^\circ \) from both sides: \[ 2x = 180^\circ - 80^\circ = 100^\circ \] Now divide by 2: \[ x = \frac{100^\circ}{2} = 50^\circ \] ### Conclusion Thus, the angle \( OAC \) is: \[ \angle OAC = 50^\circ \]
