Question

in a parallelogram ABCD, the bisector of angle A meets DC in E and AB equal to 2AD. prove that BE bisects Angle B and angle AEB is rt. angle​

Answer 1

Answer:

 (i)  Let AD = xAB = 2AD = 2x

Also AP is the bisector ∠A∴∠1 = ∠2

Now, ∠2 = ∠5 (alternate angles)

∴∠1 = ∠5Now AD = DP = x [∵ Sides opposite to equal angles are also equal]

∵ AB = CD (opposite sides of parallelogram are equal)

∴ CD = 2x⇒ DP + PC = 2x⇒ x + PC = 2x⇒ PC = x

Also, BC = x In ΔBPC,∠6 = ∠4 (Angles opposite to equal sides are equal)

Also, ∠6 = ∠3 (alternate angles)

∵ ∠6 = ∠4 and ∠6 = ∠3⇒∠3 = ∠4

Hence, BP bisects ∠B. 

(ii)  To prove ∠APB = 90°∵ Opposite angles are supplementary..
