24. In the same figure, if the angle AOB is taken away from the

angle AOC, what angle is left?

25. In the same figure, if the angle BOC is taken away from the

angle AOC, what angle is left ?

26. The following questions refer to the figure to Question 19:

(a) Add together the angles AOB and BOC; AOB and BOD; AOC and COD; BOC and COD.

(b) From the angle AOD subtract successively the angles COD, AOB, AOC, BOD.

(c) From the angle BOD subtract the angles COD, BOC. (d) To the sum of the angles AOB and BOC add the difference of the angles BOD and BOC; and from the sum of AOB and BOC subtract the difference of BOD and COD.
