[OGC1] General math. theorem 1

If a straight line meets at the endpoint of a ray, then the two adjacent angles that have been formed add up to two right angles.

I think stating this as a theorem isn't elegant. The statement can actually be said as a reformulated form of the definition of a straight line and of a right angle.
