Question

In the given figure, ABCD is a parallelogram in which ∠A = 60°. If the bisectors of ∠A and ∠B meet at P, prove that AD = DP, PC = BC and DC = 2AD.

Answer 1

The figure is given as follows:

It is given that ABCD is a parallelogram.

Thus,

Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.

Therefore,

Also, we have AP as the bisector of

Therefore,

…… (i)

Similarly,

…… (ii)

We have ,

From (i)

Thus, sides opposite to equal angles are equal.

Similarly,

From (ii)

Thus, sides opposite to equal angles are equal.

Also,
