1. ABCD is a parallelogram. If the bisectors DP and CP of angles D and C meet at P on side AB, then show that P is the mid-point of side AB.
Answers
Hope this is OK for you completely
Answer :
It is proved that the point P is the mid-point of the side AB.
Given ABCD a parallelogram and DP & CP be the bisectors of the angles D and C which meet at a point P on the side AB.
It has to be proved that P is the mid-point of the side AB
Now, using the properties of the parallelogram
AB = CD and AD = BC
also, A = C and B = D
as, CP is the angle bisector of the angle C then, if A = x
then BCP = x/2
and similarly DP is the angle bisector of the angle D then, B = 180° - x
then ADP = (180° - x)/2
By ASA congruence rule, both the triangles
APD ≅ BPC which implies AP = BP
Hence, P is the mid-point of the side AB.
So, to conclude in a sentence, it is proved that the point P is the mid-point of the side AB.
