Question
Prove that the quadrilateral formed by bisectors of any quadrilateral is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Answer
What is a cyclic quadrilateral?
A quadrilateral where all it's vertices ae inscribed in a circle is called a Cyclic Quadrilateral.
To show that any quadrilateral is cyclic, we need to show that the sum of the opposite angles of the desired quadrilateral is equal to 180°
Given
ABCD is a quadrilateral
To Prove
EFGH is a cyclic Quadrilateral.
i.e, ∠FEH + ∠FGH = 180°
[FEH and FGH are opposite angles.]
Proof
Consider ΔAEB
∠AEB = 180° - [∠EAB + ∠EBA] [A.S.P of a Δ]
∠AEB = 180° - [ ∠A + ∠B]
∠AEB = 180° - [∠A + ∠B]
But ∠AEB = ∠FEH
∴ ∠FEH = 180° - [∠A + ∠B] →
Similarly,
∠FGH = 180° - [∠D + ∠C] →
By adding 1 and 2,
∠FEH + ∠FGH = 180° - [∠A + ∠B] + 180° - [∠D + ∠C]
[On adding Numbers, and taking out common factors we get ↓]
∠FEH + ∠FGH = 360° - [∠A + ∠B + ∠D + ∠C]
[ABCD is a quadrilateral, therefore ∠A + ∠B + ∠D + ∠C = 360°]
∠FEH + ∠FGH = 360° - × 360°
∠FEH + ∠FGH = 360° - 180°
∠FEH + ∠FGH = 180°
Since the sum of supplementary angles is 180°,
EFGH is a cyclic quadrilateral.
