If two lines intersect each other, then the vertically opposite angles are equal.
Proof :
In the statement above, it is given that ‘two lines intersect each other’. So, let AB and CD be two lines intersecting at O as shown in Fig. 6.8. They lead to two pairs of vertically opposite angles, namely,
(i) ∠ AOC and ∠ BOD (ii) ∠ AOD and ∠ BOC.
We need to prove that ∠ AOC = ∠ BOD and ∠ AOD = ∠ BOC.
Now, ray OA stands on line CD.
Therefore, ∠ AOC + ∠ AOD = 180° (Linear pair axiom) ………..(1)
Can we write ∠ AOD + ∠ BOD = 180°? (Linear pair axiom)……………(2)
From (1) and (2), we can write
∠ AOC + ∠ AOD = ∠ AOD + ∠ BOD
This implies that ∠ AOC = ∠ BOD
Similarly, it can be proved that ∠AOD = ∠BOC
