AB, CD and EF are three concurrent lines passing through the point O such that OF bisects BOD. If BOF = 35. Find BOC and AOD.

Question:

AB, CD and EF are three concurrent lines passing through the point O such that OF bisects BOD.  If BOF = 35. Find BOC and AOD.

Solution:

Given

OF bisects BOD

BOF = 35

Angles BOC and AOD are unknown

BOD = 2 BOF = 70             [since BOD is bisected]

BOD = AOC = 70                 [BOD and AOC are vertically opposite angles]

Now,

BOC + AOC = 180

BOC +70 = 180

BOC =110

AOD = BOC = 110             (Vertically opposite angles]
