In △ABC, AB = AC, O is a point on BC such that BO = CO and OD is perpendicular to AB and OE is perpendicular to AC. If ∠BOD = 60°, then measure of ∠AOE is: |
120° 60° 30° 90° |
30° |
△OBD is a right-angled triangle at D and ∠BOD = 60° So, ∠OBD = 90° - 60° = 30° Since in △ABC, AB = AC, ∠OBD = ∠ACB = ∠ABC = 30° So, ∠BAC = 180° - 2 x 30° = 120° Since BO = OC, AO is a median. According to the concept, ∠BAO = ∠OAC =∠OAE = \(\frac{120}{2}\) = 60° Since OE is perpendicular to AC, △OEA is a right-angled triangle at E. ∠AOE = 90° - 60° = 30° Therefore, ∠AOE = 30°. |
