      Question

      In a ΔABC, the internal bisectors of ∠B and ∠C meet

      at point O. Find the measure of ∠BOC if the measure of ∠BAC = 50 ° .
      A 65° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 105° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 75° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 115° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Let ∠ABC = 2x o  and ∠ACB = 2y o

      Sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180 o

      So, ∠BAC + ∠BCA + ∠CBA = 180 o

      50 o  + 2x + 2y = 180 °

      2x + 2y = 130 °

      x + y = 65 °

      Again, in ΔBOC, ∠BOC + ∠BCO + ∠CBO = 180 o

      So, ∠BOC + x + y = 180 °

      So, ∠BOC = 180 °  – 65 °   = 115 °
