Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In △ABC, we are given that ∠ABC=75

and ∠ACB=75

.

Since OB is the angle bisector of ∠ABC:

∠OBC=
2
∠ABC

=
2
75



=37.5


Since OC is the angle bisector of ∠ACB:

∠OCB=
2
∠ACB

=
2
75



=37.5


Now, consider △BOC. The sum of angles in a triangle is 180

:

∠BOC+∠OBC+∠OCB=180


∠BOC+37.5

+37.5

=180


∠BOC+75

=180


∠BOC=180

−75

=105
