Solution



Given: In a parallelogram ABCD, AP is bisector of A and CQ is the bisector of C.To prove: APCQProof:As, PAQ=12BAD Since, AP is bisector of AAnd, PCQ=12BCD Since, CQ is bisector of CBut BAD=BCD Opposite angles of parallelogramABCDor 12BAD=12BCDSo, PAQ=PCQBut PCQ=BQC Alternate interior anglesPAQ=BQCBut these are corresponding angles for the pair of lines AP and CQ.Hence, APCQ
