If bisectors of A and B of a quadrilateral ABCD intersect each other at P, of B and C at Q, of C and D at R and of D and A at S, then PQRS is a
Sum of all angles of a quadrilateral is 360°
⇒ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
On dividing both sides by 2,
⇒ 1/2(∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D) = 1/2 × 360° = 180°
∵ AP, PB, RC and RD are bisectors of ∠A, ∠B, ∠C and ∠D
⇒ ∠PAB + ∠ABB + ∠RCD + ∠RDC = 180° …(1)
Sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°
∴ ∠PAB + ∠APB + ∠ABP = 180°
⇒ ∠PAB + ∠ABP = 180° – ∠APB …(2)
Similarly,
∴ ∠RDC + ∠RCD + ∠CRD = 180°
⇒ ∠RDC + ∠RCD = 180° – ∠CRD …(3)
Putting (2) and (3) in (1),
180° – ∠APB + 180° – ∠CRD = 180°
⇒ 360° – ∠APB – ∠CRD = 180°
⇒ ∠APB + ∠CRD = 360° – 180°
⇒ ∠APB + ∠CRD = 180° …(4)
Now,
∠SPQ = ∠APB [vertically opposite angles]
∠SRQ = ∠DRC [vertically opposite angles]
Putting in (4),
⇒ ∠SPQ + ∠SRQ = 180°
Hence, PQRS is a quadrilateral whose opposite angles are supplementary.
