Given:
∠BOD = x°, ∠AOE = 2x°, ∠COF = 90°
In the figure, three straight lines (AB, CD, and EF) intersect at point O.
Therefore, vertically opposite angles are:
∠BOD = ∠AOC. Therefore, ∠AOC = x°
∠AOE = ∠BOF. Therefore, ∠BOF = 2x°
∠COF = ∠DOE. Therefore, ∠DOE = 90°
Since AB is a straight line, the angles ∠AOE, ∠EOD and ∠DOB lie on a straight line and their sum is 180°.
∴ ∠BOD + ∠DOE + ∠AOE = 180°
Substituting in the above equation, we get:
x°+ 90° + 2x = 180°
⇒ 3x° + 90° = 180°
⇒ 3x° = 180° - 90°
⇒ 3x° = 90°
⇒ x° =
⇒ x° = 30°
Let's find ∠AOE and ∠AOC by substituting the value of x:
∠AOE = 2x° = (2 x 30)° = 60°
∠AOC = x° = 30°
∠AOE = 60° and ∠AOC = 30°.
