If perpendicu...

Question

If perpendiculars from any point within an angle on its arms are congruent, prove that it lies on the bisector of that angle.

Open in App

Solution

Let P be a point within such that

We have to prove that P lies on the bisector of

In and we have

(We have)

(Common)

So by right hand side congruence criterion, we have

So,

Hence P lies on the bisector of proved.
