Answer:

Explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Please refer the diagram I have attached.

Let us suppose angle ABO = x and angle CBO = y, so,


x+y=70

AO and BO will be same as both are radius.

Similarly, CO nd BO will be same as both are radius.

angle AOB =
180-x-x=180-2x

angle COB =
180-y-y=180-2y

Angle AOC =
360-(AOB+COB)=360-(180-2x+180-2y)=360-360+2(x+y)

Angle AOC =
2(x+y)

Putting the value of (x+y) as 70, then


Angle AOC = 2*70=140

So te answer is 140° : Answer

Hope it will help :)
