Question

The bisectors of base angles of a triangle cannot enclose a right angle in any case.

Solution

Let ABC be a triangle and BO and CO be the bisectors of the base anglerespectively.

We know that if the bisectors of angles ∠ABC and ∠ACB of a triangle ABC meet at a point O, then

BOC=90°+12A

From the above relation it is very clear that if is equals 90° then must be equal to zero.

Now, if possible let is equals zero but on other hand it represents that A, B, C will be collinear, that is they do not form a triangle.

It leads to a contradiction.

Hence, the bisectors of base angles of a triangle cannot enclose a right angle in any case.
