Question
In a $\triangle\text{ABC},\angle\text{ABC}=\angle\text{ACB}$ and the bisectors of $\angle\text{ABC}$ and $\angle\text{ACB}$ intersect at O such that $\angle\text{BOC}=120^\circ.$ Show that $\angle\text{A}=\angle\text{B}=\angle\text{C}=60^\circ.$

Answer

Given, In $\triangle\text{ABC},$$\angle\text{ABC}=\angle\text{ACB}$
Dividing both sides by '2'$\frac{1}{2}\angle\text{ABC}=\frac{1}{2}\angle\text{ACB}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{OBC}=\angle\text{OCB}$ $[\therefore\text{OB},\text{OC }\text{bisects }\angle\text{B}\text{ and }\angle\text{C}]$
Now,$\angle\text{BOC}=90^\circ+\frac{1}{2}\angle\text{A}$
$\Rightarrow120^\circ-90^\circ=\frac{1}{2}\angle\text{A}$
$\Rightarrow30^\circ\times(2)=\angle\text{A}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{A}=60^\circ$
Now in $\triangle\text{ABC}$$\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{ABC}+\angle\text{ACB}=180^\circ$ (Sum of all angle of a triangle)
$60^\circ+2\angle\text{ABC}=180^\circ$ $[\therefore\angle\text{ABC}=\angle\text{ACB}]$
$\Rightarrow2\angle\text{ABC}=180^\circ-60^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ABC}=\frac{120^\circ}{2}=60^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ABC}=\angle\text{ACB}$
$\therefore\angle\text{ACB}=60^\circ$
Hence Proved.
