Answer:
42°
Step-by-step explanation:
given OA and OC are perpendicular, the angle between the lines are 90°
this means that ∠AOB and ∠BOC add up to 90°, i.e.
(6x-6) + (5x+8) = 90
6x-6 + 5x+8 = 90
11x - 6 +8 = 90
11x + 2 = 90 (subtract 2 from both sides)
11x = 90- 2
11x = 88 (divide both sides by 11)
x = 8
Hence, m∠BOC
= 6x - 6
= 6(8) - 6
= 48 - 6
= 42°
