In Fig. 8.34, rays OA, OB, OC, OD and OE have the common end point O. Show that ∠AOB +∠BOC +∠COD +∠DOE + ∠EOA = 360°.
Given that,
The rays OA, OB, OC, OD and OE have the common end point O.
A ray of opposite to OA is drawn
Since,
∠AOB, ∠BOF are linear pair
∠AOB + ∠BOF = 180o
∠AOB + ∠BOC + ∠COF = 180o (i)
Also,
∠AOE + ∠EOF = 180o
∠AOE + ∠DOF + ∠DOE = 180o (ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
∠AOB + ∠BOC + ∠COF + ∠AOE + ∠DOF + ∠DOE = 360o
∠AOB + ∠BOC + ∠COD + ∠DOE + ∠EOA = 360o
Hence, proved
