In the given figure, ∠X = 62º, ∠XYZ = 54º. If YO and ZO are the bisectors of ∠XYZ and ∠XZY respectively of ΔXYZ, find ∠OZY and ∠YOZ.

Solution
As the sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180º, therefore, for ΔXYZ,
∠X + ∠XYZ + ∠XZY = 180º
62º + 54º + ∠XZY = 180º
∠XZY = 180º − 116º
∠XZY = 64º
∠OZY = 64/2 = 32º (OZ is the angle bisector of ∠XZY)
Similarly, ∠OYZ = 54/2 = 27°
Using angle sum property for ΔOYZ, we obtain
∠OYZ + ∠YOZ + ∠OZY = 180º
27º + ∠YOZ + 32º = 180º
∠YOZ = 180º − 59º
∠YOZ = 121º
