From the given AB = AC we know that the triangle is isosceles.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> angle B is congruent to angle C\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since lines OB and OC bisect angles B and C respectively, angles ABO, OBC, ACO, and OCB are all congruent.
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"alpha\" be the measure of any one of these four angles.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> \"4%2Aalpha+%2B+40%5Eo+=+180%5Eo\" ==> \"alpha+=+35%5Eo\" .\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> Isoscles triangle BOC has base angles each measuring \"35%5Eo\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> Measure of angle BOC = \"180%5Eo+-+2%2A35%5Eo+=+110%5Eo\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
