उत्तर
Let ABC be the triangle whose circumcenter is O.
∠OBC = ∠OCB = θ ...(Opposite angles of equal sides)
In ΔBOC, using the angle sum property of tringle, sum of all angles is 180°, we have:
∠BOC + ∠OBC + ∠OCB = 180°
⇒ ∠BOC + θ + θ = 180°
⇒ ∠BOC = 180° – 2θ
Also, in a circle, angle subtended by an arc at the center is twice the angle subtended by it at any other point in the remaining part of the circle.
∠BOC = 2∠BAC
⇒ ∠BAC = `1/2`(∠BOC)
⇒ ∠BAC = `1/2`(180° – 2θ)
⇒ ∠BAC = (90° – θ)
⇒ ∠BAC + θ = 90°
⇒ ∠BAC + ∠OBC = 90°
Hence proved.
