a. The bisector of the angles of â–±ABCDintersect to form quad. WXYZ. What special kind of quadrilateral isWXYZ .

b. Prove the answer to part (a).

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. Quad. WXYZ is a rectangle.

b. It is proved that Quad. WXYZ is a rectangle.

Step by step solution

01

a. Step 1 - Consider the diagram.

Here, ABCD is a parallelogram and quad. WXYZ is formed by bisector of the angles of parallelogramABCD .

02

- State the explanation.

Quad. WXYZ is a rectangle because intersection angle will be90∘ .

03

- State the conclusion.

Therefore, quad. WXYZ is a rectangle.

04

b. Step 1 - Consider the diagram.

Here, ABCD is a parallelogram and quad. WXYZ is formed by bisector of the angles of parallelogramABCD .

05

- State the proof.

Angles A and D are bisected, therefore,

∠DAW=12∠Aand ∠WDA=12∠D

Since A and D is supplementary angle of parallelogram, therefore,

∠A+∠D=1802∠DAW+2∠WDA=180

Then,

∠DAW+∠WDA=90

…… (1)

In ΔAWD,

∠DAW+∠WDA+∠DWA=180

From (1)

90+∠DWA=180∠DWA=90

Therefore, ∠XWZ=90 (As ∠DWA and ∠XWZ are vertically opposite angles.)

Similarly,

∠WZY=∠ZYX=∠YXW=90

Since all the angles in WXYZ are 90∘. Then it is a rectangle.

06

- State the conclusion.

Therefore, quad. WXYZ is a rectangle (proved).
