In figure, AP and DP are the bisectors of two adjacent angles A and D of a quadrilateral ABCD. Prove that 2∠APD = ∠B + ∠C.
Given: ABCD is a quadrilateral. AP and DP are the bisectors of ∠A and ∠D intersecting at P.
To prove: 2∠APD = ∠B + ∠C
Proof:
From quadrilateral ABCD, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360° [Sum of the four angles of a quadrilateral is 360° ]
ഊ + ∠D = 360° - (∠ B + ∠ C) ……………………………..(1)
From Δ APD, ∠ APD + ∠ PAD + ∠ ADP = 180° [Sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180° ]
∠APD +
+
= 180° [Since + ∠PAD =
, ∠ADP =
]
∴ ∠APD = 180° -
-
= 180° -
(∠A + ∠D)
=
\\ 2∠APD = 360° -[360° - (∠B + ∠C)] [from (1)]
= 360° -360° + ∠B + ∠C
= ∠B + ∠C.
∴ 2∠APD = ∠B + ∠C.
To prove: 2∠APD = ∠B + ∠C
Proof:
From quadrilateral ABCD, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360° [Sum of the four angles of a quadrilateral is 360° ]
ഊ + ∠D = 360° - (∠ B + ∠ C) ……………………………..(1)
From Δ APD, ∠ APD + ∠ PAD + ∠ ADP = 180° [Sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180° ]
∠APD +
∴ ∠APD = 180° -
= 180° -
=
\\ 2∠APD = 360° -[360° - (∠B + ∠C)] [from (1)]
= 360° -360° + ∠B + ∠C
= ∠B + ∠C.
∴ 2∠APD = ∠B + ∠C.
