Solution

In a rectangle, all the angles are right angles or 90
OB bisects B and OC bisects C
Thus, OBC=OBA
B=OBC+OBA=90
Thus, OBC=OBA=45
Similarly, OCB=OCD=45
Since, OCB=OBC=45
OBC is an isosceles triangle.
In OBC,
OBC+OCB+BOC=180 (Sum of angles)
45+45+BOC=180
BOC=90
Thus, OBC is a right angled isosceles triangle.
