Bisectors of angles A, B and C of a triangle ABC intersect its circumcircle at points D, E and F respectively. Prove that angles of ΔDEF are 90° − `1/2 ∠A, 90° − 1/2 ∠B, 90° − 1/2` ∠C.

Solution
It is given that BE is the bisector of ∠B.
∴ ∠ABE = ∠B/2
However, ∠ADE = ∠ABE (Angles in the same segment for chord AE)
⇒ ∠ADE = ∠B/2
Similarly, ∠ACF = ∠ADF = ∠C/2 (Angle in the same segment for chord AF)
∠D = ∠ADE + ∠ADF
`= (angleB)/2 + (angleC)/2`
`= 1/2(angleB + angleC)`
`= 1/2(180^@ - angleA)`
`= 90^@ - 1/2angleA`
Similarly, it can be proved that
`angleE = 90^@ - 1/2angleB`
`angleF = 90^@ - 1/2angleC`
