Given:

In ΔABC, perpendicular bisectors AG, BH and CI meet at O.

∠B = 44°, ∠C = 66°

Concepts used:

Sum of all three angles of triangle is 180°.

The points where perpendiculars meet is orthocentre.

Angle formed at orthocentre by given side = [180° - (angle opposite to given side)]

Calculation:

F47 Harshit 9-3-2021 Swati D6

According to sum angle property of triangle,

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

⇒ ∠A + 44° + 66° = 180°

⇒ ∠A = 180° - 110°

⇒ ∠A = 70°

Angle formed at orthocentre by given side = [180° - (angle opposite to given side)]

⇒ ∠BOC = 180° - 70° = 110°

∴ ∠BOC is equal to 110°.

Confusion Points The given point is orthocentre, according to the property of orthocentre,

The angle formed on orthocentre = [180° - (angle opposite to given side)]
