Answer

The diagonals of the rectangle ABCD intersect at O. If ∠OBC = 64°, then ∠OAB. Quadrilaterals, R.S. Aggarwal Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

In a rectangle all angles are equal to 90°.

∠ABC = ∠OBC + ∠ABO

90° = 64° + ∠ABO

∠ABO = 90° - 64°

∠ABO = 26°.

The diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length and bisect each other. This means :

⇒ AC = BD

⇒ AO = BO

In an isosceles triangle AOB, the angles opposite the equal sides are equal.

∠OAB = ∠ABO = 26°.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
