In figure, bisectors of ∠ B and ∠ D of a quadrilateral ABCD meet CD and AB produced at P and Q respectively. Prove that ∠ P +∠ Q=
(∠ ABC + ∠ ADC).
Given: ABCD is a quadrilateral. The bisectors of ∠ B and ∠ D meet CD and AB produced at P and Q.
To Prove: ∠ P + ∠ Q =
(∠ ABC + ∠ ADC).
Proof:
In Δ PBC,
∠ P = 180° - (∠ C + ∠ PBC) [ Angle sum property of a triangle]
But ∠ PBC =
(Given)
∴ ∠ P = 180° - (∠ C+
) …………………(i)
|||y, in Δ ADQ,
∠ Q = 180° - (∠ A +
)…………………..(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii),
∠ P + ∠ Q = 180° - (∠ C +
) + 180° - (∠ A +
)
Adding and subtracting (
+
)
∠ P + ∠ Q = 360° - (∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C + ∠ D) +
+
=360 - 360° +

=
(∠ ABC + ∠ ADC)
∴ ∠ P + ∠ Q =
(∠ ABC + ∠ ADC)
To Prove: ∠ P + ∠ Q =
Proof:
In Δ PBC,
∠ P = 180° - (∠ C + ∠ PBC) [ Angle sum property of a triangle]
But ∠ PBC =

∠ P + ∠ Q = 180° - (∠ C +
Adding and subtracting (
∠ P + ∠ Q = 360° - (∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C + ∠ D) +
