[4 Marks]

Solution

Given: A cyclic quadrilateral ABCD in which AP, BP, CR and DR are the bisectors of A,B,C and D respectively, forming a quadrilateral PQRS.

To prove: PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral

Proof:

In ΔPAB,

APB+PAB+PBA=180 [Angle sum property]

APB+12A+12B=180....(i)

PAB=12A and PBA=12B
[1 Mark]
In ΔRCD,

CRD+RCD+RDC=180 [Angle sum property]

CRD+12C+12D=180....(ii)

RCD=12D and RDC=12D
[1 Mark]

APB+CRD+12(A+B+C+D)=360 Adding (i) and (ii)
[1 Mark]

APB+CRD+12×360=360

APB+CRD=180

Sum of a pair of opposite angles of quadrilateral PQRS is 180

PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral
[1 Mark]
Hence proved.
