Prove Angles are Equal

80 Views Asked by At

Vertex $A$ of an acute triangle $ABC$ is connected by a segment with center $O$ of the circumscribed circle from vertex $A$ height $AH$ is drawn. Prove that $\angle BAH = \angle OAC$.

$ $

So I don't get what the question is saying by "connected by a segment with center $O$ of the circumscribed circle". Is it saying that inside of the triangle, there's a circle and vertex $A$ is connected to it? And also, how would I prove this?

Hint: $\angle CDA=\angle CBA$ as they are angle that subtend equal arcs. Also, use the fact that $\triangle ACD$ and $\triangle AHB$ are right triangle.

Because $$\measuredangle OAC=\frac{1}{2}\left(180^{\circ}-\measuredangle AOC\right)=90^{\circ}-\measuredangle ABC=\measuredangle BAH.$$
