Question

If AB is parallel to RS and O is the mid-point of AS, then show that:

  1. Angle AOB = Angle SOR
    where A, B = Points on line AB and S, R = Points on line RS.

  2. O is the mid-point of BR.

Solution

To prove that (i) ∠AOB = ∠SOR and (ii) O is the midpoint of BR, we can use the properties of parallel lines and the midpoint theorem.

(i) ∠AOB = ∠SOR:

  1. Given that AB is parallel to RS, we can conclude that ∠ABO and ∠SOR are corresponding angles.
  2. Since AB is parallel to RS, ∠ABO and ∠SOR are also alternate interior angles.
  3. By the alternate interior angles theorem, we know that corresponding angles and alternate interior angles are congruent.
  4. Therefore, ∠AOB = ∠SOR.

(ii) O is the midpoint of BR:

  1. Given that O is the midpoint of AS, we know that AO = OS.
  2. Since AB is parallel to RS, we can conclude that ∠ABO and ∠RSO are corresponding angles.
  3. By the corresponding angles theorem, we know that if two lines are cut by a transversal and the corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
  4. Therefore, ∠ABO and ∠RSO are congruent.
  5. Since AO = OS and ∠ABO = ∠RSO, we can apply the midpoint theorem.
  6. The midpoint theorem states that if a line segment is cut by a midpoint, then the two resulting line segments are congruent.
  7. Therefore, BO = OR.
  8. Since BO = OR, we can conclude that O is the midpoint of BR.

Thus, we have shown that (i) ∠AOB = ∠SOR and (ii) O is the midpoint of BR.
