Question

Prove that when a transversal intersects two parallel lines the bisectors of the interior angle on the same side of the transversal form a right angle at their point of intersection.

Answer 2

Solutions:

We know that the sum of interior angles on the same side of the transversal is 180°.

Hence, ∠BMN + ∠DNM = 180°

=> 1/2∠BMN + 1/2∠DNM = 90°

=> ∠PMN + ∠PNM = 90°

=> ∠1 + ∠2 = 90° ............. (i)

In △PMN, we have

∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = 180° ......... (ii)

From (i) and (ii), we have

90° + ∠3 = 180°

=> ∠3 = 90°

=> PM and PN intersect at right angles.
