Answer:
Let P and Q be adjacent corners of a parallelogram, and let those angles have measure p and q. Let R be the point at which the angle bisectors at P and Q meet.
In △PQR, we have
180∘=∠R+∠RPQ+∠RQP=∠R+12p+12q=∠R+12(p+q)
Adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary, so p+q=180∘. Thus,
180∘=∠R+90∘⟹∠R=90∘
which is to say: Adjacent angle bisectors in a parallelogram meet at right angles.
