Q3 of 33 Page 95

In the picture aside, if AP and DP are the bisectors of BAD and ADC respectively of the parallelogram ABCD, then by calculating let us write the value of APD.

Given ABCD is Parallelogram


DAB + CDA = 180° (sum of adjacent angles of a Parallelogram is 180°)


Dividing the above equation by 2 on both the sides


………………eq(1)


Since AP and DP are the bisectors of DAB and CDA respectively


PAB = PAD = 1/2 BAD


And PDC = PDA = 1/2 CDA


Putting these values in eq(1)


PAD + PDA = 90°


In triangle PAD


PAD + PDA + APD = 180°. (Angle sum property of a triangle)


90° + APD = 180 °


⇒∠APD = 90°
