Answer

We know that,

The angle subtended by each side of an n-sided regular polygon at the center of circle = 360°n\dfrac{360°}{n}.

(i) Given,

AB is the side of the pentagon.

Angle subtended by each arm of the pentagon at the center of the circle is 360°5\dfrac{360°}{5} = 72°.

Hence, ∠AOB = 72°.

(ii) Given,

BC is the side of the hexagon.

Angle subtended by each arm of the hexagon at the center of the circle is 360°6\dfrac{360°}{6} = 60°.

Hence, ∠BOC = 60°.

(iii) From figure,

⇒ ∠AOC = ∠AOB + ∠BOC = 72° + 60° = 132°.

Hence, ∠AOC = 132°.

(iv) In △ OAB,

⇒ OA = OB

⇒ ∠OBA = ∠OAB = x (let) [Angle opposite to equal sides are equal]

By angle sum property of triangle,

⇒ ∠OAB + ∠OBA + ∠AOB = 180°

⇒ x + x + 72° = 180°

⇒ 2x + 72° = 180°

⇒ 2x = 180° - 72°

⇒ 2x = 108°

⇒ x = 108°2\dfrac{108°}{2}

⇒ x = 54°

⇒ ∠OBA = 54°.

Hence, ∠OBA = 54°.

(v) In △ OBC,

⇒ OC = OB

⇒ ∠OBC = ∠OCB = y (let) [Angle opposite to equal sides are equal]

By angle sum property of triangle,

⇒ ∠OBC + ∠OCB + ∠BOC = 180°

⇒ y + y + 60° = 180°

⇒ 2y + 60° = 180°

⇒ 2y = 180° - 60°

⇒ 2y = 120°

⇒ y = 120°2\dfrac{120°}{2}

⇒ y = 60°

⇒ ∠OBC = 60°.

Hence, ∠OBC = 60°.

(vi) From figure,

⇒ ∠ABC = ∠OBA + ∠OBC = 54° + 60° = 114°.

Hence, ∠ABC = 114°.
