Question
The given figure shows a square $\text{ABCD}$ and an equilateral $\triangle ABP.$


Calculate: $(i) \angle AOB;(ii) \angle BPC;(iii)\angle PCD;(iv)$ Reflex $\angle APC$
✓

Answer


In the given figure $\triangle APB$ is an equilateral triangle.
Therefore all its angles are $60^{\circ}$
Again in the
$\triangle ADB$,
$\angle ABD =45^{\circ}$
$\angle AOB =180^{\circ}-60^{\circ}-45^{\circ}=75^{\circ}$
Again
$\triangle BPC$
$\Rightarrow \angle BPC =75^{\circ}\ldots .[$ Since $B P=C B]$
Now,
$\angle C =\angle BCP +\angle PCD$
$ \Rightarrow \angle PCD =90^{\circ}-75^{\circ}$
$ \Rightarrow \angle PCD =15^{\circ}$
Therefore,
$\angle APC =60^{\circ}+75^{\circ}$
$ \Rightarrow \angle APC =135^{\circ}$
$ \Rightarrow \text { Reflex } \angle APD =360^{\circ}-135^{\circ}=225^{\circ}$
$(i) \angle AOB =75^{\circ}$
$(ii) \angle BPC =75^{\circ}$
$(iii) \angle PCD =15^{\circ}$
$(iv)$ Reflex $\angle APC =135^{\circ}$.
Reflex $\angle APD =225^{\circ}$

Case Study I : One day three friends Amit (A), Binay (B) and Chanchal (C) were playing hide and seek game in the park of their society. Amit and Binay hide in the shrubs and Chanchal has to find both of them. If the position of three friends are at A, B and C respectively, as shown in the figure and forms a right angled triangle ABC such that AB = 6m BC = $2 \sqrt{3}$ m and $\angle$B = $90^{\circ}$.
