Answer:
∠ BOC = 42°
Step-by-step explanation:
Since OA and OC are perpendicular , that is at 90° to each other, then
∠ AOB + ∠ BOC = 90 , substitute values
5x + 8 + 6x - 6 = 90
11x + 2 = 90 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
11x = 88 ( divide both sides by 11 )
x = 8
Thus
∠ BOC = 6x - 6 = 6(8) - 6 = 48 - 6 = 42°
