Question -

Prove that if thetwo arms of an angle are perpendicular to the two arms of another angle, thenthe angles are either equal or supplementary.



Answer -

Let the angles be ACB and ABD

Let AC perpendicular to AB, and CD is perpendicular to BD.

To Prove : ACD = ABD OR ACD + ABD=180°

Proof :

In a quadrilateral,

A+ C+ D+ B =360°

[ Sum of angles ofquadrilateral is 360° ]

=> 180° + C + B = 360°

=> C + B = 360° –180°

Therefore, ACD + ABD = 180°

And ABD = ACD = 90°

Hence, angles are equal as well as supplementary.
