उत्तर
Given: A parallelogram in which bisector of angle A, B, C, D intersect at P, Q, R, S to form a quadrilateral PQRS.
To prove: Quadrilateral PQRS is a rectangle.
Proof: Since ABCD is a parallelogram.
Therefore, AB || DC.
Now, AB || DC, and transversal AD cuts them, so we have
∠A + ∠D = 180°
`1/2 ∠"A" + 1/2 ∠ "D" = (180^circ)/2`
∠DAS + ∠ADS = 90°
But in ΔASD, we have
∠ADS + ∠DAS + ∠ASD = 180°
90° + ∠ASD = 180°
∠ASD = 90°
∠RSP = ∠ASD ...(vertically opposite angle)
∠RSP = 90°
Similarly, we can prove that
∠SRQ = 90°, ∠RQP = 90° and ∠QPS = 90°
Thus, PQRS is a quadrilateral each of whose angle is 90°.
Hence, PQRS is a rectangle.
