Given:

AB is the diameter of a circle with centre O. If P be point on the circle such that ∠AOP = 110°

Formula used:

Sum of the angles of triangle = 180°

Calculations:

As from figure,

⇒ OA = OP = OB = radius

In ΔOPB

⇒ OP = OB

so, ΔOPB is an isosceles triangle

⇒ ∠OPB = ∠OBP = x

As, AB is an striaght line

⇒ ∠AOP + ∠POB = 180°

⇒ ∠POB = 180° - 110° = 70°

In ΔOPB,

⇒ ∠O + ∠P + ∠B = 180°

⇒ 70° + x + x = 180°

⇒ 2x = 180° - 70° = 110°

⇒ x = 55°

⇒ Hence, The measure of the ∠OBP is 55º
