Detailed Solution

Angle bisectors of a parallelogram form a rectangle.
Suppose the parallelogram be ABCD whose bisectors of adjacent angles A, B intersect at O and of C, D bisect at P.
In ΔAOB   , AO is the bisector of A hence,
OAB= A 2   .
BO is the bisector of B hence,
  OBA= B 2  .
Question ImageThe sum of the adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180 °  .
Hence,
  A+B= 180 ° A+B 2 = 180 ° 2 A+B 2 = 90 °    Also, the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180 °   .
Hence,
  OAB+OBA+BOA= 180 ° BOA+ 90 ° = 180 ° BOA= 90 ° O= 90 °  
 Similarly, in ΔDPC   , P= 90 °  .
  All the angles formed by the bisectors of adjacent angles meet each other at 90 °   .
As all the four angles formed are right angles, so by the definition of rectangle, the angle bisectors of parallelogram form a rectangle.
