In the adjoining figures, is a parallelogram in which the bisectors of
and
intersect at a point
Prove that
ABCD is parallelogram.
We know that the sum of the adjacent angles in parallelogram is 180°
∴ ∠ A + ∠B = 180°
∴ +
=
= 90°
In ∆ APB, we have:
∠PAB = ∠A /2
∠PBA = ∠B /2
∴ ∠APB = 180 − (∠PAB + ∠PBA) …Angle sum property of triangle
∴ ∠APB = 180 – ( +
)
∴ ∠APB = 180 − 90 = 90°
Hence, proved.
