Question

Given that A, O & B lie on a straight line segment, evaluate obtuse ∠AOC.

The diagram is not drawn to scale.


∠AOC=

Answer 1

AOC = 124°

Explanation:

Angle on a straight line is 180°, therefore, the sum of the three angles shown is 180;

This can be written like so:

(3x + 94) + (x + 30) + (2x - 4) = 180

This equation can be solved to find x:

6x + 120 = 180

6x = 180 - 120

6x = 60

x = 10

AOC = 3(10) + 94

= 30 + 94

= 124

Answer 2

angle AOC = 124

Explanation:

3x + 94 + x + 30 + 2x - 4 = 180 ( ^'s on a STR line)

6x = 180 - 120

6x = 60

x = 10

sub x into 3x + 94

3(10) + 94 = 124
