If two straight lines intersect each other then prove that the ray opposite to the bisector of one of the angles so formed bisect the vertically opposite angle. |

Answer» Answer: Given AB and CD are STRAIGHT lines which intersect at O. OP is the bisector of ∠AO. To PROVE: OQ is the bisector of ∠BOD. Proof: AB, CD and PQ are straight lines which intersect in O. ∠AOP=∠BOQ(vertically OPPOSITE ANGLES) ∠COP=∠DOQ(vertically opposite angles) ∠AOP=∠COP(OP is the bisector of ∠AOC) ∴∠BOQ=∠DOQ Thus, the rate opposite to the bisector of one of the angles thus formed BISECTS the vertically opposite angle. Similarly, the bisection of ∠AOD also bisects the ∠BOC. solution |
