Javier constructed ∠AOB
with ray OC
as an angle bisector of ∠AOB
. If the measure of ∠AOB
is 74 degrees, what is the measurement of ∠AOC
?
(1 point)
The m∠AOC
is
degrees.
Since ray OC is an angle bisector, we know that ∠AOC and ∠BOC are congruent. Therefore, each angle is half of the measure of ∠AOB.
So, ∠AOC = ∠BOC = 74 degrees / 2 = 37 degrees.
The measurement of ∠AOC is 37 degrees.
Since ray OC is an angle bisector of ∠AOB, we know that ∠AOC is equal to ∠BOC. So, to find the measurement of ∠AOC, we just need to divide the measure of ∠AOB, which is 74 degrees, by 2.
Therefore, the measurement of ∠AOC is 74 degrees divided by 2, which is 37 degrees.
The m∠AOC is 37 degrees.
