In ΔABC, sides AB and AC are produced to D and E respectively. BO and CO are the bisectors of CBD and BCE respectively. Then, prove that


Here BO, CO are the angle bisectors of DBC &ECB intersect each other at O.


∴∠1 = 2 and 3 = 4


Side AB and AC of ΔABC are produced to D and E respectively.


Exterior of DBC = A + C ………… (1)


And Exterior of ECB = A + B ………… (2)


Adding (1) and (2) we get


DBC + ECB = 2 A + B + C.


22 + 23 = A + 180°


2 + 3 = (1 /2)A + 90° ………… (3)


But in a ΔBOC = 2 + 3 + BOC = 180° ………… ( 4)


From eq (3) and (4) we get


(1 /2)A + 90° + BOC = 180°


BOC = 90° – (1 /2)A
