Question

23. A transversal intersects two straight lines. If the bisectors of a pair of co-interior angles are perpendicular, prove that the two straight lines
parallel
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The transversal AD intersects the two lines PQ and RS at points B and C respectively. BE is the bisector of ∠ABQ and CF is the bisector of ∠BCS.

As, BE is the bisector of ∠ABQ, then,

∠ABE=

1

∠ABQ

In the same way,

∠BCF=

2

1

∠BCS

Since BE and CF are parallel and AD is the transversal, therefore, by corresponding angle axiom,

∠ABE=∠BCF

∠ABQ=

1

∠BCS

∠ABQ=∠BCS

Therefore, by the converse of corresponding angle axiom,

PQ∥RS.
