Solution

The image provided shows a geometry problem asking for the angle BOC\angle BOC in a diagram where multiple lines intersect at point OO.

The diagram presents three angles labeled as:

  • 2x2x^\circ for AOF\angle AOF,
  • 6x6x^\circ for EOD\angle EOD,
  • xx^\circ for COD\angle COD.

To solve for BOC\angle BOC, we can utilize the fact that these angles are adjacent to each other, and the total sum of angles around point OO must be 360360^\circ.

Step-by-step solution:

  1. We have three adjacent angles:

    • AOF=2x\angle AOF = 2x^\circ,
    • EOD=6x\angle EOD = 6x^\circ,
    • COD=x\angle COD = x^\circ.
  2. Since these angles form a straight line (line ACAC), their sum must be equal to 180180^\circ (linear pair of angles): 2x+6x+x=1802x + 6x + x = 180^\circ 9x=1809x = 180^\circ x=20x = 20^\circ

  3. Now that we have x=20x = 20^\circ, we can calculate BOC\angle BOC, which is vertically opposite to EOD\angle EOD. Therefore: BOC=EOD=6x=6×20=120\angle BOC = \angle EOD = 6x = 6 \times 20^\circ = 120^\circ

Conclusion:

The measure of BOC\angle BOC is 120120^\circ.

Would you like further clarification or details on this solution? Here are some related questions to explore:

  1. How are vertically opposite angles related to each other?
  2. What are linear pairs of angles, and how are they used in this problem?
  3. What are some other ways to solve for unknown angles in intersecting lines?
  4. How can we prove that the sum of angles around a point is 360360^\circ?
  5. How do transversal lines affect angle relationships?

Tip: Always remember that vertically opposite angles are equal when two lines intersect. This can simplify many geometry problems!
