In figure 2.28, line PS is a transversal of parallel line AB and line CD. If Ray QX, ray QY, ray RX, ray RY are angle bisectors, then prove that is a rectangle.

Given: PS is transversal of parallel line AB and line CD.

To find: QXRY is rectangle.


AQR + CRQ = 180°


(divide by 2)


XQR + XRQ = 90°


[ QX and RX are bisector)


In Δ XQR


XQR + XRQ + QXR = 180°


90° + QXR = 180° ( XQR + XRQ = 180° proved above)


QXR = 180° -90°


QXR = 90°


Similarly, QYR = 90°


AQR + BQR = 180 (straight line)


(divide by 2)


XQR + YQR = 90° (QX and QY are bisector )


XQY = 90°


Similarly, XRY = 90°


If any quadrilateral has all the angle 90° it is a rectangle, so that QXRY is rectangle.
