Question -

If two straight lines intersect each other, prove that the ray opposite to the bisector of one of the angles thus formed bisects the vertically opposite angle.



Answer -

Given : AB and CD intersect each other at O. OE is the bisector of ∠AOD and EO is produced to F.
 
To prove : OF is the bisector of ∠BOC
Proof : ∵ AB and CD intersect each other at O
∴ ∠AOD = ∠BOC (Vertically opposite angles)
∵OE is the bisector of ∠AOD
∴ ∠1 = ∠2
∵ AB and EF intersect each other at O
∴∠1 = ∠4 (Vertically opposite angles) Similarly, CD and EF intersect each other at O
∴ ∠2 = ∠3
But ∠1 = ∠2
∴ ∠3 = ∠4
OF is the bisector of ∠BOC
