Question 14 Marks
Prove that the bisectors of a pair of vertically opposite angles are in the same straight line.
Answer
Given: Lines $AOB $and $COD $intersect at point $O $. Such that $\angle AOC =\angle BOD$. Also, $O E$ is the bisector $\angle AOC$ and $OF $is the bisector $\angle BOD$. To prove: $E O F$ is a straight line. $\angle AOD =\angle BOC =5 x \ldots$ (1) ( [vertically opposite angle] Also, $\angle AOD +\angle BOC$ [vertically opposite angle] $\Rightarrow 2 \angle AOE =2 \angle DOF \ldots$ (2) Now, $\angle AOD +\angle AOC +\angle BOC +\angle BOD =360^{\circ}$ [Sum of all angles around a point is $360^{\wedge} \backslash circ$ ] $\Rightarrow 2 \angle AOD +2 \angle AOE +2 \angle DOF =360^{\circ}$ $\Rightarrow \angle AOD +\angle AOE +\angle DOF =180^{\circ}$ From this we conclude that $EOF $is a straight line.
