The diagonals AC and BD of a parallelogram ABCD intersect each other at the point O. If ∠DAC = 32° and ∠AOB = 70°, then ∠DBC is equal to? Rectilinear Figures, ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

∠ACB = ∠DAC = 32° (Alternate angles are equal)

AC is a straight line.

⇒ ∠AOB + ∠BOC = 180°

⇒ 70° + ∠BOC = 180°

⇒ ∠BOC = 180° - 70°

⇒ ∠BOC = 110°.

In △OBC,

⇒ ∠BOC + ∠OBC + ∠OCB = 180°

From figure,

⇒ ∠OCB = ∠ACB = 32°

⇒ 110° + ∠OBC + 32° = 180°

⇒ ∠OBC = 180° - 142° = 38°.

From figure,

∠DBC = ∠OBC = 38°.

Hence, Option 3 is the correct option.
