Rays OA, OB. OC, OD and OE have the common initial point O. Show that ∠AOB + ∠BOC + ∠COD + ∠DOE + ∠EOA = 360°.
∵ Sum of all the angle round a point is equal to 360°.
∴ y + (3x - 15) + (y + 5) + 2y + (4y + 10) + x = 360°
⇒ 4x + 8y = 360°
⇒ x + 2y = 90°
⇒ x + 2(20°) = 90°
⇒ x + 40° = 90°
⇒ x = 50°
Now, y + 3x - 15 + y + 5 = 3x + 2y - 10
= 3(50°) + 2(20°) - 10
= 150° + 40° - 10°
= 180°
∴ AOB is a straight line.
