Question -

Two lines AB and CD intersect at O. If ∠AOC + ∠COB + ∠BOD = 270°, find the measure of ∠AOC, ∠COB, ∠BOD and ∠DOA.



Answer -

Two lines AB and CD intersect at O
and ∠AOC + ∠COB + ∠BOD = 270°
But ∠AOC + ∠COB + ∠BOD + ∠DOA = 360° (Angles at a point)
 
∴ 270° + ∠DOA = 360°
⇒ ∠DOA = 360° – 270° = 90°
But ∠DOA = ∠BOC (Vertically opposite angles)
∴ ∠BOC = 90°
But ∠DOA + ∠BOD = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ 90° + ∠BOD = 180°
∴ ∠BOD= 180°-90° = 90° ,
But ∠BOD = ∠AOC (Vertically opposite angles)
∴ ∠AOC = 90°
Hence ∠AOC = 90°,
∠COB = 90°,
∠BOD = 90° and ∠DOA = 90°
