In the following figure, ΔODC ∼ ΔOBA, ∠BOC = 125° and ∠CDO = 70°. Find ∠DOC, ∠DCO and ∠OAB.
उत्तर
DOB is a straight line.
∴ ∠DOC + ∠COB = 180°
⇒ ∠DOC = 180° − 125°
⇒ ∠DOC = 55°
In ΔDOC,
∠DCO + ∠CDO + ∠DOC = 180°
(Sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°.)
⇒ ∠DCO + 70° + 55° = 180°
⇒ ∠DCO = 55°
It is given that ΔODC ∼ ΔOBA
∴ ∠OAB = ∠OCD ...[Corresponding angles are equal in similar triangles.]
⇒ ∠OAB = 55°

Activity: In ΔABP and ΔCDP

In the given figure, ΔLMN is similar to ΔPQR. To find the measure of ∠N, complete the following activity.
Given: ΔLMN ∼ ΔPQR
Since ΔLMN ∼ ΔPQR, therefore, corresponding angles are equal.
So, ∠L ≅ `square`
⇒ ∠L = `square`
We know, the sum of angles of a triangle = `square`
∴ ∠L + ∠M + ∠N = `square`
Substituting the values of ∠L and ∠M in equation (i),
`square` + `square` + ∠N = `square`
∠N + `square` = `square`
∠N = `square` – `square`
∠N = `square`
Hence, the measure of ∠N is `square`.
