The diagonals of rectangle ABCD intersect at a point O. If ∠COD is 78°, then find ∠OAB.
Question
The diagonals of rectangle ABCD intersect at a point O. If ∠COD is 78°, then find ∠OAB.
Solution
In a rectangle, the diagonals are equal in length and they bisect each other, which means they cut each other in half. This creates four right triangles within the rectangle.
Given that ∠COD is 78°, we can find ∠COB because in a triangle, the sum of angles is 180°.
So, ∠COB = 180° - 90° - 78° = 12°.
Since the diagonals bisect the angles of the rectangle, ∠OAB = ∠COB = 12°.
