The bisectors of ∠B and ∠C of a quadrilateral ABCD intersect each other at point P. Show that P is equidistant from the opposite sides AB and CD. 

योग

उत्तर


Since P lies on the bisector of angle B,

Therefore, P is equidistant from AB and BC  ...(1)

Similarly, P lies on the bisector of angle C,

Therefore, P is equidistant from BC and CD  ...(2)

From (1) and (2),

Hence, P is equidistant from AB and CD.
