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 $\angle\text{AOC}=\angle\text{BOD}.$ Also, OE is the bisector $\angle\text{AOC}$ and OF is the bisector $\angle\text{BOD}.$ To prove: EOF is a straight line.$\angle\text{AOD}=\angle\text{BOC}=5\text{x}\dots(1)$ ( [vertically opposite angle]
Also,$\angle\text{AOD}+\angle\text{BOC}$ [vertically opposite angle]
$\Rightarrow\ 2\angle\text{AOE}=2\angle\text{DOF}\dots(2)$
Now,$\angle\text{AOD}+\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{BOC}+\angle\text{BOD}=360^\circ$ [Sum of all angles around a point is 360°]
$\Rightarrow\ 2\angle\text{AOD}+2\angle\text{AOE}+2\angle\text{DOF}=360^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{AOD}+\angle\text{AOE}+\angle\text{DOF}=180^\circ$
From this we conclude that EOF is a straight line.

Proof: Since AB || EM and BL is the transversal$\angle\text{ABC}=\angle\text{EML}\dots(\text{i})$ [Corresponding angle]
Given: AB and CD are two lines intersecting at O such that $\angle\text{BOC}=90^\circ.$ R.T.P:$\angle\text{AOC}=90^\circ,\angle\text{AOD}=90^\circ$ and $\angle\text{BOD}=90^\circ$
Consider be angles AOB and ACB. Given OA perpendicular to AO, also OB perpendicular to BO. To Prove: $\angle\text{AOB}+\angle\text{ACB}=180^\circ$

Given m perpendicular t and l perpendicular to t.$\angle{1}=\angle{2}=90^\circ$
Given AB || CD AD || BC Since AB || CD and AD is the transversal Therefore, A + D = 180 [Co-interior angles are supplementary] 60 + D = 180 D = 180 - 60 D = 120 Now, AD || BC and AB is the transversal A + B = 180 [Co-interior angles are supplementary] 60 + B = 180 B = 180 - 60 = 120 Hence,$\angle\text{A}=\angle\text{C}=60^\circ$ and $\angle\text{B}=\angle\text{D}=120^\circ$
Given: AB and CD intersect each other at O. OE bisects $\angle\text{COB}$ To prove:$\angle\text{AOF}=\angle\text{DOF}$
Let A = 2x and B = 3x Now, A + B = 180 [Co-interior angles are supplementary] 2x + 3x - 180 [AD || BC and AB is the transversal] ⇒ 5x = 180$\text{x}=\frac{180}{5}$
