Answer -
Given : In ∆ABC, BD ⊥ AC and CE⊥ AB BD and CE intersect each other at O
To prove : ∠BOC = 180° – ∠A
Proof: In quadrilateral ADOE
∠A + ∠D + ∠DOE + ∠E = 360° (Sum of angles of quadrilateral)
⇒ ∠A + 90° + ∠DOE + 90° = 360°
∠A + ∠DOE = 360° – 90° – 90° = 180°
But ∠BOC = ∠DOE (Vertically opposite angles)
⇒ ∠A + ∠BOC = 180°
∴ ∠BOC = 180° – ∠A
