Answer

AOB is a diameter of a circle whose center is O. The point C lies on the circle

Given:

  • AOB is a diameter of the circle with center O.
  • Point C lies on the circle.
  • ∠OBC = 60°.

∠ACB = 90° (angle subtended by a diameter at any point on the circle is a right angle)

Triangle OBC is isosceles (OB = OC, both are radii of the circle)

Since ∠OBC = 60°, we also have ∠OCB = 60°.

∠OCA + ∠OCB + ∠ACB = 180° (The sum of angles in any triangle is 180°)

or, ∠OCA + 150° = 180°.

or, ∠OCA = 180° – 150° = 30°.
