If m= angle aoc=85°, m=angle boc = 2x + 10, and m angle aob = 4x – 15, find the degree measure of angle bocand angle aob. the diagram is not to scale.
a. m= 30°; m= 55°
b. m= 40°; m= 45°
c. m= 45°; m= 40°
d. m= 55°; m= 30°

answer: option a.

step-by-step explanation:

you know that the quadrilateral opqr ( a four sided figure) is inscribed in circle. this means that all its vertices are on the circle.

then, by definition, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary, this means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

you can observe in the figure that the angles ∠opq   and the angle ∠orq   are opposite, therefore:

then, can be used to d to calculate the measure of ∠opq
