    Question

    In \triangle ​ABC, O is the point of intersection of the bisectors of angle B and angle A. If the angle BOC = 108°, then angle BAO is: 

    A.

    26°

    B.

    16°

    C.

    22°

    D.

    18°

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    O is the point of intersection of the bisectors of ∠B and ∠A
    ∠BOC = 108°
    Formula Used:
    O is the incentre of the triangle.
    Angle of the incentre of the triangle is equal to the sum of 90°  and half of the angle opposite to the incentre of a triangle.
    Sum of all angles of triangle =180°
    Solution:
    The point at which angle bisectors meet is the incentre of the triangle.
    Hence, O is the incentre of the triangle.
    If ∠BOC = 108°

    BOC=90°+(BAC)2 108°=90°+(BAC)2 BAC=36° BAO=(BAC)2=18°∠BOC = 90° +\frac{ (∠BAC)}{2} \\\ \\108°= 90° +\frac{ (∠BAC)}{2}\\\ \\∠BAC= 36° \\\ \\∠BAO=\frac{ (∠BAC)}{2 }= 18°​​
