Note that ADE, CEF and ABF are isosceles triangles.
And BO⊥CE , ∠ECO=∠CEO= 90- α
AD=BC=DE
∆ OCB congruence to ∆ODE … ( Case SAS)
So OB=OD and triangle BOD is isosceles
X= (180-72)/2=54
To Peter Tran:
ReplyDeletePlease explain why
BO ⊥ CE
Where it is used?

Thank you for your comment. The correct statement should be CO ⊥EF instead of BO⊥ CE . The solution and the result is valid with this correction. See attached sketch above for details
