Prove that the bisectors of opposite angles of a parallelogram are parallel.

बेरीज

उत्तर

Given ABCD is a parallelogram. The bisectors of ∠ADC and ∠BCD meet at E. The bisectors of ∠ABC and ∠BCD meet at F

From the parallelogram ABCD we have

∠ADC + ∠BCD = 180° ...[ sum of adjacent angles of a parallalogram ]
⇒  `("∠ADC")/(2) + ("∠BCD")/(2)` = 90°
⇒ ∠EDC + ∠EDC = 90°

In triangle ECD sum of angles = 180°
⇒ ∠EDC + ∠ECD + ∠CED = 180°
= ∠CED = 90°

Similarly taking triangle BCF it can prove that ∠BFC = 90°
Now since
∠BFC = ∠CED = 90°

Therefore the lines DE and BF are parallel
Hence proved
