In ΔABC, ∠A = 66°, the internal bisectors of ∠B and ∠C intersect at O. The measure of ∠BOC is:
123°
In a triangle ΔABC, the internal angle bisectors of angles ∠B and ∠C meet at a point, let's call it O. This point O is known as the incenter of the triangle. The incenter is the center of the inscribed circle that touches all three sides of the triangle internally.
There is a specific relationship between the angle formed by the intersection of two internal angle bisectors and the third angle of the triangle. If the internal bisectors of ∠B and ∠C of ΔABC intersect at O, the measure of ∠BOC can be calculated using the formula:
$\angle \text{BOC} = 90^\circ + \frac{\angle \text{A}}{2}$
We are given that in ΔABC, ∠A = 66°. We can use the formula mentioned above to find the measure of ∠BOC.
Substitute the value of ∠A into the formula:
$\angle \text{BOC} = 90^\circ + \frac{66^\circ}{2}$
First, calculate half of ∠A:
$\frac{66^\circ}{2} = 33^\circ$
Now, add this value to 90°:
$\angle \text{BOC} = 90^\circ + 33^\circ$
$\angle \text{BOC} = 123^\circ$
So, the measure of the angle ∠BOC, formed by the intersection of the internal bisectors of ∠B and ∠C, is 123°.
The measure of ∠BOC is 123°.
