Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- A ∆ABC in which BO and CO are the bisectors of the base angles ∠B and ∠C respectively.
To Prove:
- ∠BOC is not a right angle.
PROOF: If possible, let ∠BOC = 90°. Then,
∠CBO + ∠BCO = 180°
1/2 ∠B + 1/2 ∠C = 90°
∠B + ∠C = 180°
∠A = 0° { since, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° }
This shows that the points A, B , C do not form a triangle, which is false.
So our assumption is wrong.
Hence, ∠BOC is not a right angle.
