Q.If \(O\) is the circumcenter of the equilateral triangle \(ABC\), the value of \(\angle BOC\) will be - (a) 100° (b) 120° (c) 140° (d) 60°
Answer: B
Each angle of an equilateral triangle measures 60°.
∴ \(\angle\)BAC = 60°
The central angle \(\angle\)BOC subtended by arc BC
= 2 × the inscribed angle \(\angle\)BAC
= 2 × 60° = 120°.
