Two prallel lines l and m are intersected by a transversal t. Show that the quadrilateral formed by the bisectors of interior angles is a rectangle.
Answers
We know that l ∥ m and t is transversal
from the figure we know that ∠APR and ∠PRD are alternate angles
We can write it as
We know that PS and RQ are the bisectors of ∠APR and
∠PRD
so we get
∠SPR =∠PRQ
hence, PR intersects PS and RQ at points P and R respectively
We get
PS ∥ RQ
in the same way SR ∥ PQ
therefore, PQRS is a parallelogram
we know that the interior angles are supplementary
from the figure we know that PQ and RQ are the bisectors of ∠BPR and ∠PRD
We can write it as
Dividing the equation by 2
Consider △PQR
Using the sum property of triangle
by substituting in equation (1)
We know that PQRS is a parallelogram
it can be written as
We know that the adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary
We know that all the interior angles of quadrilateral PQRS are right angles
therefore it is proved that the quadrilateral PQRS are right angles
therefore it is proved that the quadrilateral formed by the bisectors of interior angles is a rectangle.
TO SHOW :
- The quadrilateral formed by the bisectors of interior angles is a rectangle.
PROOF :
l and m are parallel lines which are intersected by a transversal t.
l am intersects at point A and C respectively.
Bisector of interior angles intersects at B and D.
Now, the alternate angles formed are :
We know that,
The alternate angles are equal.
➠ AB || DC because the alternate angles are equal.
➠ Now, similarly BC || AD.
ABCD is a parallelogram.
Here,
.........{This are the linear pairs}
Therefore, ABCD is a parallelogram and one of its angle is 90°.
