In figure 2.28, line PS is a transversalof parallel line AB and line CD. If RayQX, ray QY, ray RX, ray RY are anglebisectors, then prove that QXRY is arectangle.​

Answer»

Given :

Two parallel LINES AB and CD are intersected by a Transversal PR in points Q and R respectively.

The bisectors of two PAIRS of interior angles intersect in Y and X.

To prove:

QXRY is a rectANGLE.

Proof :

AB \parallel CD

and a Transversal QR intersects them

< AQR = <QRD

( Alternate interior angles )

\implies \frac{1}{2} \angle {AQR } = \frac{1}{2} \angle {QRD}

( Halves of equals are equal )

=> <1 = <2

But these form a PAIR of equal alternate interior angles.

\therefore QX \parallel RY \: ---(1)

Similarly , we can show that

RX \parallel QY \: ---(2)

/* From (1) and (2) , */

QYRX is a parallelogram.

Now, The sum of consecutive interior angles on the same side of a Transversal is 180° .

\angle {BQR} + \angle {QRD} = 180\degree

\implies \frac{1}{2} \angle {BQR} +\frac{1}{2}  \angle {QRD} =\frac{1}{2} \times  180\degree

\implies \angle 3 + \angle 2 = 90\degree \: --(3)

In QRY ,

\angle 3 + \angle 2 + \angle {QRY} = 180\degree

/* Angle sum Property */

\implies 90\degree + \angle {QRY} = 180\degree \: [ From \: (3) ]

\angle {QRY} = 90\degree

\implies QYRX \: is \:a \: <klux>RECTANGLE</klux> .

/* A parallelogram with one of its angles of measure 90° is a rectangle. */
