The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the angle ABC given that angle AOC is 110 degrees. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information:** - We are given that angle AOC = 110 degrees. 2. **Understand the Geometry:** - In the figure, O is the center of the circle, and OA, OB, and OC are radii of the circle. Therefore, OA = OB = OC. 3. **Construct the Triangles:** - Join points A and B to form triangle OAB and triangle OBC. 4. **Use Properties of Isosceles Triangles:** - Since OA = OB, triangle OAB is isosceles. Thus, the angles opposite to equal sides are equal: - Let angle OAB = angle OBA = X. 5. **Apply the Triangle Sum Property:** - In triangle OAB, the sum of angles is 180 degrees: \[ \text{angle OAB} + \text{angle OBA} + \text{angle AOB} = 180^\circ \] Substituting the known values: \[ X + X + \text{angle AOB} = 180^\circ \] This simplifies to: \[ 2X + \text{angle AOB} = 180^\circ \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] 6. **Determine angle AOB:** - Since OB bisects angle AOC, we have: \[ \text{angle AOB} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{angle AOC} = \frac{1}{2} \times 110^\circ = 55^\circ \] 7. **Substitute angle AOB into Equation 1:** - Now substitute angle AOB into Equation 1: \[ 2X + 55^\circ = 180^\circ \] Rearranging gives: \[ 2X = 180^\circ - 55^\circ = 125^\circ \] Thus: \[ X = \frac{125^\circ}{2} = 62.5^\circ \] 8. **Find angle OBC:** - Since triangle OBC is also isosceles (OB = OC), angle OBC will also be: \[ \text{angle OBC} = 62.5^\circ \] 9. **Calculate angle ABC:** - Angle ABC is the sum of angles OBA and OBC: \[ \text{angle ABC} = \text{angle OBA} + \text{angle OBC} = 62.5^\circ + 62.5^\circ = 125^\circ \] ### Final Answer: - Therefore, the measurement of angle ABC is **125 degrees**. ---
