Let's analyze the image. We are given the angles \(\angle DOF = 30^{\circ}\) and \(\angle BOE = 40^{\circ}\). We need to find the angle \(\angle AOC\).
First, notice that \(\angle DOF\) and \(\angle BOE\) are vertical angles to \(\angle AOF\) and \(\angle COB\) respectively.
Since \(\angle AOB\) is a straight angle (180 degrees), we have: $$\angle AOB = \angle AOF + \angle FOC + \angle COB = 180^{\circ}$$
We can also write that \(\angle AOC + \angle COB = \angle AOB\), so $$\angle AOC + 40^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}$$ From that, we express \(\angle FOC\) as $$\angle AOC = 180^{\circ} - 40^{\circ} = 140^{\circ}$$
However, we need to express \(\angle AOC\) using \(\angle AOF\), \(\angle FOC\), \(\angle COB\). Since line OC divides \(\angle AOB\) into \(\angle AOC\) and \(\angle COB\) we can say that $$\angle AOC = \angle AOB - \angle COB$$ \(\angle AOB = 180^{\circ}\), so: $$\angle AOC = 180^{\circ} - 40^{\circ}$$ $$\angle AOC = 140^{\circ}$$
Another way to see this is to recognize that \(\angle DOC\) is also a straight line, so \(\angle DOC = 180^{\circ}\). We also know that \(\angle DOF = 30^{\circ}\). Therefore: $$\angle FOC = \angle DOC - \angle DOF$$ $$\angle FOC = 180^{\circ} - 30^{\circ} = 150^{\circ}$$ Also note that \(\angle AOF + \angle FOC = \angle AOC\). We found that \(\angle AOF = 30^{\circ}\), so $$\angle AOC = 150^{\circ} - 30^{\circ} = 140^{\circ}$$
