Given: ABCD is a parallelogram. The bisectors of and meet at .
To prove: (i) (ii) and (iii)


Proof:


A = C and B = D … Opposite angles
And
A + B = 180° … Adjacent angles
B = 180° − A
180° − 60° = 120° … as A = 60°
A = C = 60° and B = D = 120°
(i) In ∆ APB,


PAB = = 30°and PBA = = 60°
APB = 180° − (30° + 60°) = 90°
(ii) In ∆ ADP,
PAD = 30° and ADP = 120°
APB = 180° − (30° + 120°) = 30°


Hence,


PAD = APB = 30°
Hence, ∆ADP is an isosceles triangle and AD = DP.
In ∆ PBC,


PBC = 60°


BPC = 180° − (90° +30°) = 60°and BCP = 60° …Opposite angle of A
PBC = BPC = BCP
Hence, ∆PBC is an equilateral triangle and, therefore, PB = PC = BC.

(iii) DC = DP + PC
From (ii), we have


DC = AD + BC …AD = BC
DC = AD + AD


DC = 2 AD
