    Okay, the question was wrong - and it's been fixed now. The question is -  Find the angle OAB

    Knowns:

    O is the center of the isosceles triangle with sides AB and AC equal, 

    Angle ABC = 40 

    Consequently, Angle ACB = 40


    Unknowns: 

    Angle OAB = 1/2 of angle BAC


    Angle BAC = 180 - sum of angles ABC and ACB (since, sum of angles of a triangle = 180

                          = 180 -  (40+40)

                          = 100


    Finally,

    Angle OAB = 1/2 of angle BAC   

                          = 1/2 of 100

                          = 50.


    The answer is 50.
