Lines ABAB and CDCD intersect at point OO. In clockwise order, name the four angles formed as ∠AOC\angle AOC, ∠COD\angle COD, ∠DOB\angle DOB, and ∠BOA\angle BOA. a. (i) Identify the two pairs of vertically opposite angles at OO. b. (ii) State the equality relation that holds for each pair of vertically opposite angles and give a brief reason. c. (iii) State the relation that holds for the measures of angles that form a linear pair and give a brief reason. d. (iv) Using your answers to (ii) and (iii), explain why ∠AOC=∠DOB\angle AOC = \angle DOB without measuring any angle.
