Question

Prove that in a parallelogram the angle bisectors of two adjacent angles intersect at right angle.

Open in App
Solution



It is given that ABCD is a parallelogram.
DAB + CBA = 180° (Angles on the same side of a transversal line are supplementary.)
Dividing both sides by 2, we get:
OAB + ABO = 90° (OA and OB are bisectors of DAB and CBA)

Now, consider AOB
OAB + ABO + BOA = 180° [Angle sum property]
or,
90° + AOB = 180°
or,
AOB = 90°
