In Fig. 6.16, if x + y = w + z, then prove that AOB is a line.
Solution:
Given: x + y = w + z
To prove: AOB is a line.
We know that if the sum of two adjacent angles is 180°, then the non-common arms of the angles form a line.
From the figure we can see that,
(x + y) + (w + z) = 360° (complete angle)
It is given that (x + y) = (w + z),
Hence (x + y) + (w + z) = 360° can be written as (x + y) + (x + y) = 360°
2x + 2y = 360°
2(x + y) = 360°
x + y = 360°/2 = 180°
Since the sum of adjacent angles, x and y with OA and OB as the non-common arms is 180° we can say that AOB is a line.
