Question -

In the figure, OP, OQ, OR and OS are four rays. Prove that: ∠POQ + ∠QOR + ∠SOR + ∠POS = 360° [NCERT]



Answer -

In the figure, OP, OQ, OR and OS are the rays from O
To prove : ∠POQ + ∠QOR + ∠SOR + ∠POS = 360°
Construction : Produce PO to E
 
Proof: ∠POQ + ∠QOE = 180° (Linear pair)
Similarly, ∠EOS + ∠POS = 180°
Adding we get,
∠POQ + ∠QOR + ∠ROE + ∠EOS + ∠POS = 180° + 180° ,
⇒ ∠POQ + ∠QOR + ∠ROS + ∠POS = 360° Hence ∠POQ + ∠QOR + ∠SOR + ∠POS = 360°
