Question

Prove the result: If two lines intersect each other, then the vertically opposite angles are equal.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Proof :

If two lines intersect each other, then the vertically opposite angles are equal.

In the statement above, it is given that ‘two lines intersect each other’. So, let AB and CD be two lines intersecting at O as shown in Fig. 6.8. They lead to two pairs of vertically opposite angles, namely,

(i) ∠ AOC and ∠ BOD (ii) ∠ AOD and ∠ BOC.

We need to prove that ∠ AOC = ∠ BOD and ∠ AOD = ∠ BOC.

Now, ray OA stands on line CD.

Therefore, ∠ AOC + ∠ AOD = 180° (Linear pair axiom) ………..(1)

Can we write ∠ AOD + ∠ BOD = 180°? (Linear pair axiom)……………(2)

From (1) and (2), we can write

∠ AOC + ∠ AOD = ∠ AOD + ∠ BOD

This implies that ∠ AOC = ∠ BOD

Similarly, it can be proved that ∠AOD = ∠BOC

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A pair of vertically opposite angles are always equal to each other. Also, a vertical angle and its adjacent angle are supplementary angles, i.e., they add up to 180 degrees. For example, if two lines intersect and make an angle, say X=45°, then its opposite angle is also equal to 45°.
