The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the angle ABC given the conditions provided. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Incenter and Given Angles**: - Let O be the incenter of triangle ABC. - We know that OD is perpendicular to BC, which means angle ODB = 90°. - We are given that angle BOD = 15°. 2. **Calculate Angle AOD**: - In triangle BOD, we can find angle AOD using the fact that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°. - We have: \[ \text{Angle BOD} + \text{Angle ODB} + \text{Angle AOD} = 180° \] - Substituting the known values: \[ 15° + 90° + \text{Angle AOD} = 180° \] - Simplifying this gives: \[ \text{Angle AOD} = 180° - 105° = 75° \] 3. **Relate Angle AOD to Angle ABC**: - Since O is the incenter, angle AOD is equal to half of angle ACB (because the angle bisector divides the angle into two equal parts). - Therefore, we have: \[ \text{Angle ACB} = 2 \times \text{Angle AOD} = 2 \times 75° = 150° \] 4. **Use the Triangle Angle Sum Property**: - In triangle ABC, the sum of the angles is 180°: \[ \text{Angle A} + \text{Angle B} + \text{Angle C} = 180° \] - We know angle C (which is angle ACB) is 150°, so: \[ \text{Angle A} + \text{Angle B} + 150° = 180° \] - This simplifies to: \[ \text{Angle A} + \text{Angle B} = 30° \] 5. **Determine Angle ABC**: - Since angle A and angle B are supplementary to angle C, we can express angle B in terms of angle A: \[ \text{Angle B} = 30° - \text{Angle A} \] - However, we need to find the specific value of angle ABC. We can assume that angle A is equal to angle B for simplicity in this case (as the problem does not specify otherwise). - Thus, we can set: \[ 2 \times \text{Angle B} = 30° \] - This gives: \[ \text{Angle B} = 15° \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the angle ABC is \( 15° \).
