Question

Need help with this problem

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, it is given that lines (AO) and (OC) are perpendicular. This means that when the lines intersect, the four angles formed each have a measure of (90) degrees. As per the given diagram, angles (<AOR) and (<ROC) add up to make (<AOC). Thus, one can form the following equation and solve for (x).

$($

Substitute,

$(6x-6)+(5x+8)=90$

Simplify,

$11x+2=90$

Inverse operations,

$11x+2=90$

$11x=88\\\\x=8$

Substitute this into the equation for the measure of angle (<BOC) to find the numerical angle measure:

Answer 2

Answer:

OA⊥OC

∴∠AOB+BOC= 90°

5x+8+6n-6=90

11x+2=90

x=90-2/11

x=88/11

x=8

∠BOC=6x-6

=6(8)-6

=48-6

∠BOC=42°
