Question

ABC is a triangle . The bisector of the exterior angle at B and the bisector of C intersect each other at D. Proove that angle D is half A.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given :-

ABC is a triangle.

BD is the interior angle bisector of ∠B and CD is the exterior angle bisector of ∠C.

To prove that :- BDC =1/2 angle A.

proof :- In ΔABC

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

⇒ ∠A = 180° – x – y .... (1)

and In ΔBDE

angle B = x / 2

angle c= y + 180- y/2= 180+y/2

and , therefore angle b + c + d = 180°

so, angle D = 180°- x /2 - 180+y/2

= 180 - x - y /2 ..........( 2 )

Now from equation ( 1 ) and ( 2 ), we get the result..

angle D = angle A / 2. (ANS)
