किसी चतुर्भुज WXYZ में, ∠W = 74° तथा ∠X = 58° है। ∠Y और ∠Z के समद्विभाजक O पर मिलते हैं। ∠ZOY की माप कितनी होगी?
Detailed Solution & Logic
66°
In quadrilateral WXYZ,
$\angle W = 74^\circ$
$\angle X = 58^\circ$
Sum of interior angles of a quadrilateral = $360^\circ$
So,
$\angle Y + \angle Z = 360^\circ - (74^\circ + 58^\circ)$
$\angle Y + \angle Z = 360^\circ - 132^\circ = 228^\circ$
The bisectors of $\angle Y$ and $\angle Z$ meet at O.
In any quadrilateral, the angle between the internal bisectors of two adjacent angles equals:
$\angle ZOY = 180^\circ - \frac{\angle Y + \angle Z}{2}$
Substitute the value:
$\angle ZOY = 180^\circ - \frac{228^\circ}{2}$
$\angle ZOY = 180^\circ - 114^\circ$
$\angle ZOY = 66^\circ$
Correct Answer: 66°
