Solution

In ABC,BO and CO are bisectors of angle B and C respectively.
Now, in ABC,
A+B+C=180°
B+C=180°A.....(1)
Now, in BOC,
BOC+12B+12C=180°
BOC+12(B+C)=180°
BOC+12(180°A)=180°
BOC=180°90°+12A
BOC=90°+12A
BOC>90°
Thus it is proved that the bisector of base angles of a triangle cannot enclose a right angle.
