Question

In a square ABCD, its diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at point O. The bisector of angle DAO meets BD at point M and the bisector of angle ABD meet AC at N and AM at L. Show that:
ONL+OML=180o
BAM=BMA
ALOB is a cyclic quadrilateral.

Solution

ABCD is a square whose diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at right angles at O.
(i)AOB=AOD=90
In ANB
ANB=180(NAB+NBA)
ANB=180(45+452) since NB is bisector of ABD
ANB=18045452
ANB=135452
But LNO=ANB(vertically opposite angles)
LNO=135452 ........(1)
Now in AMO,
AMO=180(AOM+OAM)
AMO=180(90+452) since MA is bisector of DAO
AMO=18090452
AMO=90452 ........(2)
Adding (1) and (2) we get
LNO+AMO=135452+90452
LNO+AMO=22545=180
LNO+AMO=180
(ii)BAM=BAO+OAM
BAM=45+452=6712
And BMA=180(AOM+OAM)
BMA=180(90+452)
BMA=90452=6712
BMA=BAM
(iii) In quadrilateral ALOB
ABO+ALO=45+90+45=180
,ALOB is a cyclic quadrilateral.
