point p is the equidistant from the arms of the angle abc prove that BP bisects angle ABC
Answers
Let ABC be an angle and let BD be its bisector. Take a point P on BD. Draw PQ and PR perpendicular to the arms AB and BC of the angle.
In ∆s BPQ and BPR
Angle PBQ = Angle PBR (since BP bisects angle B)
BP = BP (common side)
Angle BQP = Angle BRP (each = 90°)
Hence ∆BPQ is congruent to ∆BPR.
Therefore, PQ = PR (c.p.c.t.)
Hence the bisector of an angle is equidistant from the arms of the angle.

Answer:
Consider the image attached.
- Draw PQ and PR perpendicular to the arms AB and BC of the angle.
- Then, we have joined BP.
We, have to show that BP is the bisector of ∠ABC.
- According to the given problem , point P is the equidistant from the arms of the ∠ABC, So , PQ = PR
Consider ΔQBP and ΔRBP,
- PQ = PR (given , point p is the equidistant from the arms of the angle ABC)
- ∠PQB = ∠PRB (Both are 90°)
- PB is the common sides for Both the Triangle.
Hence using RHS rules of Congruency, we can say ΔQBP ≅ ΔRBP
So, ∠QBP =∠RBP [from CPCT rules]
Hence, we can say that BP is a bisector of ∠QBR as well as ∠ABC.
Here it is proved that if point P is the equidistant from the arms of the angle ABC , then BP bisects angle ∠ABC.
