Draw any two line 'l' and 'm' and intersect in two distinct points by a transversal 'p' and write
exterior angles
Answers
Answer:
Given : l ∥ m
Transversal p intersects l & m at A & C respectively. Bisector of ∠ PAC & ∠ QCA meet at B. And, bisector of ∠ SAC & ∠ RCA meet at D.
To prove : ABCD is a rectangle.
Proof :
We know that a rectangle is a parallelogram with one angle 90°
.
For l ∥ m and transversal p
∠PAC=∠ACR
So,1/2 ∠PAC= 1/2∠ACR
So, ∠BAC=∠ACD
For lines AB and DC with AC as transversal ∠BAC & ∠ACD are alternate angles, and they are equal.
So, AB ∥ DC.
Similarly, for lines BC & AD, with AC as transversal ∠BAC & ∠ACD are alternate angles, and they are equal.
So, BC ∥ AD.
Now, In ABCD,
AB ∥ DC & BC ∥ AD
As both pair of opposite sides are parallel, ABCD is a parallelogram.
Also, for line l,
∠PAC+∠CAS=180°
1/2∠PAC + 1/2∠CAS = 90°
∠BAC+∠CAD=90°
So, ABCD is a parallelogram in which one angle is 90°
Hence, ABCD is a rectangle.
