Answer:

52°

Explanation:

Angle AOB is the a.pex angle of the isosceles triangle AOB.* Then angles at A and B are congruent and each is the complement of half the angle at O:

∠OAB = 90° -(1/2)(76°) = 90° -38°

∠OAB = 52°

_____

* You know ΔAOB is isosceles because OA and OB are both radii of the circle, hence the same length.
