Since, AB is the side of regular pentagon,
∠AOB = = 72°.
Since, AC is the side of regular hexagon,
∠AOC = = 60°.
From figure,
⇒ ∠AOB + ∠AOC + reflex∠BOC = 360°
⇒ 72° + 60° + reflex∠BOC = 360°
⇒ reflex∠BOC + 132° = 360°
⇒ reflex∠BOC = 360° - 132° = 228°.
We know that,
Angle which an arc subtends at the center is double that which it subtends at any point on the remaining part of the circumference.
Arc BC subtends ∠BOC at the centre and ∠BAC at the remaining part of the circle.
∴ ∠BOC = 2∠BAC
⇒ ∠BAC = = 114°.
Arc AC subtends ∠AOC at the centre and ∠ABC at the remaining part of the circle.
∴ ∠AOC = 2∠ABC
⇒ ∠ABC = = 30°.
Arc AB subtends ∠AOB at the centre and ∠ACB at the remaining part of the circle.
∴ ∠AOB = 2∠ACB
⇒ ∠ACB = = 36°.
Hence, angles of triangle are ∠ABC = 30°, ∠ACB = 36° and ∠BAC = 114°.
