Answer:
◐ The measure of ∠APB
Explanation:
Given information,
In given figure, the bisectors of ∠A and ∠B meet at point P. If ∠C = 50° and ∠D = 100°, find the measure of ∠APB.
- ∠C = 50°
- ∠D = 100°
- ∠BAP = ½∠A
- ∠PBA = ½∠B
Let,
- ∠A = 2m
- ∠B = 2n
Hence,
- ∠BAP = ½∠A = ½ × 2x = m
- ∠PBA = ½∠B = ½ × 2y = n
Concepts used,
★ In Quadrilateral ABCD ::
➻ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
Putting all values,
➻ 2m + 2n + 50° + 100° = 360°
➻ 2m + 2n + 150° = 360°
➻ 2m + 2n = 360° - 150°
➻ 2m + 2n = 210°
➻ 2(m + n) = 210°
➻ m + n = (210/2)°
➻ m + n = 105°
Now,
★ In ∆PAB ::
➻ ∠BAP + ∠PBA + ∠APB = 180°
Putting all values,
➻ m + n + ∠APB = 180°
➻ ∠APB = 180° - (m + n)
From (1) putting in (2),
➻ ∠APB = 180° - 105°
➻ ∠APB = 75°
- Henceforth, the measure of ∠APB is 75°.
