From figure,
DAC is a straight line.
∴ ∠DAB + ∠BAC = 180°
⇒ 137° + ∠BAC = 180°
⇒ ∠BAC = 180° - 137° = 43°.
EBC is a straight line.
∴ ∠EBA + ∠ABC = 180°
⇒ 106° + ∠ABC = 180°
⇒ ∠ABC = 180° - 106° = 74°.
In △ ABC,
By angle sum property of triangle,
⇒ ∠ABC + ∠BAC + ∠ACB = 180°
⇒ 74° + 43° + ∠ACB = 180°
⇒ 117° + ∠ACB = 180°
⇒ ∠ACB = 180° - 117° = 63°.
Since, OB is the bisector of angle ABC.
∴ ∠OBC = = 37°.
Since, OC is the bisector of angle ACB.
∴ ∠OCB = = 31.5°.
In △ OBC,
By angle sum property of triangle,
⇒ ∠OBC + ∠OCB + ∠BOC = 180°
⇒ 37° + 31.5° + ∠BOC = 180°
⇒ 68.5° + ∠BOC = 180°
⇒ ∠BOC = 180° - 68.5° = 111.5°
∴ ∠BOC > ∠OBC > ∠OCB
∴ BC > CO > BO (If two angles of a triangle are unequal, the greater angle has the greater side opposite to it.)
Hence, sides of triangle BOC in descending order are BC > CO > BO.
