Plz solve this question
Given: AB=AC
E = 100 °
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
