Question
ABCD is a rectangle whose diagonals AC and BD intersect at O. If ∠OAB = 46°, find ∠OBC
Advertisements
Solution
Since the diagonals of a rectangle AC and BD are equal and bisect each other
∴ OA = OB
∠OAB = ∠OBA = 46°
Each angle of a rectangle measures 90°
∠ABC = 90°
∠ABO + ∠OBC = 90°
46° + ∠OBC = 90°
∠OBC = 90° − 46°
∴ ∠OBC = 44°
