In the parallelogram ABCD, the bisectors of ∠A and ∠B meet CD at the point E. The length of the side BC is 2 cm. Let us write the length of the side AB.

In the figure, In the parallelogram ABCD, the bisectors of ∠A and ∠B meet CD at the point E and BC = 2 cm
Now,
∠ABE = ∠CBE [BE is angle bisector of ∠B]
∠ABE = ∠BEC [Alternate interior angles]
⇒ ∠CBE = ∠BEC
⇒ BC = CE [Sides opposite to equal angles are equal] [1]
Similarly,
AD = DE
⇒ BC = DE [BC = AD, opposite sides of parallelogram are equal] [2]
Adding [1] and [2]
2BC = CE + DE
⇒ CD = 2BC
⇒ CD = 2(2) = 4 cm
Since, opposite sides of parallelogram are equal.
∴ AB = CD = 4 cm
