If one of the four angles formed by two intersecting lines is a right angle, then show that each of the four angles is a right angle.
Given that,
AB and CD are two lines intersecting at O
To prove: ∠BOC = 90o
∠AOC = 90o
∠AOD = 90o
∠BOD = 90o
Proof: Given that,
∠BOC = 90o
∠BOC = ∠AOD = 90o(Vertically opposite angle)
∠AOC + ∠BOC = 180o(Linear pair)
∠AOC + 90o = 180o
∠AOC = 90o
∠AOC = ∠BOD = 90o(Vertically opposite angles)
Therefore,
∠AOC = ∠BOC = ∠BOD = ∠AOD = 90o
Hence, proved
