Answer:


m\angle QBO=12

Explanation:

We have been given that point O is the in-center of triangle ABC. We are asked to find the measure of angle QBO.

We know that in-center of a triangle is the point, where three angle bisectors of triangle meet.

Since O is in-center, so AO will be angle bisector. We will find the value of x by equating the expression for angle QAO to angle SAO as:


2x+6=4x-12


2x+6-6=4x-12-6


2x=4x-18


2x-4x=4x-4x-18


-2x=-18


(-2x)/(-2)=(-18)/(-2)


x=9

Now we will substitute
x=9 in the expression for measure of angle QBO.


m\angle QBO=3x-15


m\angle QBO=3*9-15


m\angle QBO=27-15


m\angle QBO=12

Therefore, the measure of angle QBO is 12 degrees.
