If two lines intersect each other, then show that the vertically opposite angles are equal.
Answers
When two lines intersect each other, then the opposite angles, formed due to intersection are called vertical angles or vertically opposite angles. A pair of vertically opposite angles are always equal to each other.

Answer:
here is the answer.
Explanation:
In the above statement it is given that "Two lines intersect with each other".
So,let AB and CD be two lines intersecting at O they lead to two pairs of vertically opposite angles namely,
(i)Angle AOC and BOD
(ii)Angle AOD and BOC
We need to prove that Angle AOC=BOD and Angle AOD=BOC
Now,ray OA stands on line CD
Therefore,Angle AOC+AOD=180°
(linear pair axiom)----(1)
Can we write, Angle AOD+BOD=180°?
(linear pair axiom)--------(2)
From eq (1) & (2) , we can write
Angle AOC + Angle AOD = Angle AOD +a
Angle BOD
This implies that
Angle AOC=Angle BOD
Similarly it can be proved that
Angle AOD = Angle BOC .
