Question

Choose the correct term and fill in the blanks :

In the figure :

$\angle POS$ and ………… are vertically opposite angles. ($\angle SOQ$/$\angle ROQ$).

Answer 1

Vertically opposite angles :

When two lines intersect, the opposite angles are equal. These angles are called vertically opposite angles because they are opposite to each other at a vertex. As :

Now, as per the question :

$\angle POS$ and $\angle ROQ$ are opposite to each other at vertex $O$.

Hence $\angle POS$and $\angle ROQ$ are vertically opposite angles.
