(N/A) Since $DB$ is a straight line,$\angle DOC$ and $\angle BOC$ form a linear pair.
$\angle DOC + \angle BOC = 180^{\circ}$
$\angle DOC + 125^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}$
$\angle DOC = 180^{\circ} - 125^{\circ} = 55^{\circ}$
In $\triangle ODC$,the sum of the angles is $180^{\circ}$:
$\angle DCO + \angle CDO + \angle DOC = 180^{\circ}$
$\angle DCO + 70^{\circ} + 55^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}$
$\angle DCO + 125^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}$
$\angle DCO = 180^{\circ} - 125^{\circ} = 55^{\circ}$
Given that $\Delta ODC \sim \Delta OBA$,the corresponding angles are equal:
$\angle OAB = \angle OCD = \angle DCO$
Therefore,$\angle OAB = 55^{\circ}$.
Thus,$\angle DOC = 55^{\circ}$,$\angle DCO = 55^{\circ}$,and $\angle OAB = 55^{\circ}$.

Nazima is fly fishing in a stream. The tip of her fishing rod is $1.8 \, m$ above the surface of the water and the fly at the end of the string rests on the water $2.4 \, m$ away from a point directly under the tip of the rod. Assuming that her string (from the tip of her rod to the fly) is taut,how much string does she have out? If she pulls in the string at the rate of $5 \, cm$ per second,what will be the horizontal distance of the fly from her after $12 \, seconds$?
