The circumcentre of the triangle ABC is O. Prove that angle OBC+angle BAC=90 degree. Please answer fast!!!!!!


Given, O is the circumcenterConstruction: OC joined.To prove: OBC+BAC = 900Proof:In ΔOBC OB = OC [radii of same circle]ΔOBC is isoscelesOBC = OCB ---1 [Angles opposite to equal sides of an isosceles triangle]Again,BOC =2BAC ---2 [Angle at the center is twice the angle at the circumference]In ΔOBC OBC+OCB+BOC =1800 [Sum of angles of a triangle]=>2OBC + BOC =1800 [By eqn. 1]=>2OBC+2BAC=1800 [By eqn. 2]=>OBC+BAC=18002=900=>OBC+BAC = 900Hence proved.
