In figure, if x + y = w + z, then prove that AOB is a line.

Since, x,y,w and z are angles at a single point,
x + y + w + z = \(360^\circ\)

But it is given that, x + y = w + z

\(\because \) x + y + x + y = \(360^\circ\)
\(\Rightarrow \) 2(x + y) = \(360^\circ\)
\(\Rightarrow \) (x + y) = \(180^\circ\)

Hence, by converse of linear pair axiom, it is proved that AOB is a straight line.
