Step-by-step explanation:
Draw two lines AB and CD intersecting each other at O.
We know that the vertically opposite angles are equal.
Therefore, ∠BOC=∠AOD and
∠AOC=∠BOD.
We bisect angle AOC and draw the bisecting ray as OX.
Similarly, we bisect angle BOD and draw the bisecting ray as OY.
Now, ∠XOA+∠AOD+∠DOY
=21∠AOC+∠AOD+21∠BOD
=21∠BOD+∠AOD+21∠BOD
[As, ∠AOC=∠BOD]
=∠AOD+∠BOD
Since, AB is a line.
Therefore, ∠AOD and ∠BOD are supplementary angles and the sum of these two angles will be 180°.
Therefore, ∠XOA+∠AOD+∠DOY=180°
We know that the angles on one side of a straight line will always add to 180°.
Also, the sum of the angles is 180°.
Therefore, XY is a straight line.
Thus, OX and OY are in the same line.
