Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
ABCD is a parallelogram, in which ∠A = 60°
⇒ ∠B = 120° [Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary]
∠C = 60° = ∠A [Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal]
∠D = ∠B = 120° [Opposite angles of parallelogram are equal]
AP bisects ∠A ⇒ ∠DAP = ∠PAB = 30°
BP bisects ∠B ⇒ ∠CBP = ∠PBA = 60°
In ΔPAB,
∠APB = 90° [Angle sum property]
In ΔPBC,
∠BPC = 60° [Angle sum property]
In ΔADP,
∠APD = 30° [Angle sum property]
In ΔPBC,
∠BPC = ∠CBP = 60° [Linear angles are supplementary]
⇒ BC = PC [Sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are equal] -------- (1)
In ΔADP,
∠APD = ∠DAP = 30°
⇒ AD = DP [Sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are equal]
But AD = BC [Opposite sides of parallelogram are equal]
So, BC = DP -------- (2)
From (1) and (2), we get
DP = PC
⇒ P is the midpoint of CD.
