Bisectors of the angles $B$ and $C$ of an isosceles triangle with $A B=A C$ intersect each other at $O$. $B O$ is produced to a point $M$. Prove that $\angle M O C=\angle A B C$.
Given Lines, $O B$ and $O C$ are the anqle bisectors of $\angle B$ and $\angle C$ of an isosceles $\triangle A B C$ such
that $A B=A C$ which intersect each other at $O$ and $B O$ is produced to $M$.
To prove $\angle M O C=\angle A B C$.
Proof $\ln \triangle A B C$, $A B=A C$[given]
$\Rightarrow$ $\angle A C B=\angle A B C$ [angles opposite to equal sides are equal]
$\frac{1}{2} \angle A C B=\frac{1}{2} \angle A B C$ [dividing both sides by 2]
$\Rightarrow$ $\angle O C B=\angle O B C$ $\ldots($ i)
[since, $O B$ and $O C$ are the bisector of $\angle B$ and $\angle C$ ]
Now, $\angle M O C=\angle O B C+\angle O C B$
[exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of two interior angles]
$\Rightarrow$ $\angle M O C=\angle O B C+\angle O B C$ [from Eq. (i)]
$\Rightarrow$ $\angle M O C=2 \angle O B C$
$\Rightarrow$ $\angle M O C=\angle A B C$[since, $O B$ is the bisector of $\angle B$ ]
Hence proved.
