As we know,

⇒ ∠OCP = 90° (Tangent)

⇒ BC bisects ∠OCP

∠OCB = ∠OBC = 45° [OB = OC]

In ΔBOC,

⇒ ∠OCB + ∠OBC + ∠BOC = 180°

⇒ ∠BOC + 45° + 45° = 180°

⇒ ∠BOC = 180° – 90° = 90°

⇒ ∠BAC = 1/2 × ∠BOC = (1/2) × 90° = 45°

As we know,

Sum of two supplementary angle is 180°.

Let the supplementary angle of ∠BAC be x, then

⇒ x + ∠BAC = 180°

⇒ x = 180° – 45° = 135°
