Answer

Diagonals of a kite bisect the vertex angles.

∴ ∠OCD = C2=642\dfrac{∠C}{2} = \dfrac{64}{2} = 32° and ∠OAB = A2=1122\dfrac{∠A}{2} = \dfrac{112}{2} = 56°

Diagonals of a kite are perpendicular to each other.

∴ ∠DOC = 90°

⇒ ∠OCD + ∠DOC + ∠ODC = 180°

⇒ 32° + 90° + ∠ODC = 180°

⇒ ∠ODC = 58°.

Diagonals of a kite are perpendicular to each other.

∴ ∠AOB = 90°

⇒ ∠AOB + ∠OAB + ∠OBA = 180°

⇒ 90° + 56° + ∠OBA = 180°

⇒ ∠OBA = 180° - 146° = 34°.

Hence, ∠OBA = 34° and ∠ODC = 58°.
