Answer
We know that,
The angle subtended by each side of an n-sided regular polygon at the center of circle = .
(i) Given,
AB is the side of the pentagon.
Angle subtended by each arm of the pentagon at the center of the circle is = 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 = 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 =
⇒ 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 =
⇒ y = 60°
⇒ ∠OBC = 60°.
Hence, ∠OBC = 60°.
(vi) From figure,
⇒ ∠ABC = ∠OBA + ∠OBC = 54° + 60° = 114°.
Hence, ∠ABC = 114°.
