Given: AB=AC
To find: x and y.
To find: x and y.
In the given figure, BOCE is cyclic quadrilateral.
Therefore
angle BEC + angle BOC = 180o (because The sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180o )
=> 100o + y = 180o
=> y = 180o - 100o = 80o
=> angle BAC = angle BOC (angle y) (Because angles in the same segment are equal)
=> Therefore angle BAC = 80o
Now, in triangle ABC, angle BAC = 80o
It is given that AB = AC i.e. triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle.
Therefore angle ABC = Angle x (because in a triangle, angles opposite to the two equal sides are equal) (1)
Therefore using the angle sum property of triangles, we know that the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180o.
In triangle ABC,
=> angle BAC + angle ABC + angle x =180o
=> 80o + x + x = 180o (from (1) angle ABC = x )
=> 80o + 2x = 180o
=> 2x = 180o - 80o = 100o
=> x = 100o / 2 = 50o
Hence, x = 50o and y = 80o
Therefore
angle BEC + angle BOC = 180o (because The sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180o )
=> 100o + y = 180o
=> y = 180o - 100o = 80o
=> angle BAC = angle BOC (angle y) (Because angles in the same segment are equal)
=> Therefore angle BAC = 80o

Hence, x = 50o and y = 80o
