Circle Geometry | Triangle AOB | OA = OB | ∠O = 60° | Find ∠A and ∠B

⚪ Circle Geometry | Triangle AOB

O is the center | A and B are points on the circle | OA = OB (radii) | ∠O = 60°

A B O 60°
⚪ Circle with center O 📍 A and B are points on the circle 📐 OA = OB (radii of the same circle) 📐 ∠AOB = 60°
✍️ Find the other two angles of triangle AOB
1 Identify the triangle type
In triangle AOB, OA = OB. What type of triangle is it?
2 Property of isosceles triangle
In an isosceles triangle with OA = OB, which angles are equal?
3 Angle sum property
What is the sum of all three angles in any triangle?
4 Set up the equation
Let ∠A = ∠B = x. Given ∠O = 60°. Write the equation.
5 Simplify the equation
60 + 2x = 180 simplifies to:
6 Solve for x
2x = 120, therefore x = ?
7 Value of ∠A
∠A = ? degrees
8 Value of ∠B
∠B = ? degrees
9 Verification
Check: 60° + 60° + 60° = ?
10 Final answer
The other two angles are:
