How do the angle bisectors of the internal angles of a parallelogram form a rectangle?

How do the angle bisectors of the internal angles of a parallelogram form a rectangle?

Solutions

Expert Solution

let angles of parallelogram be alpha, beta, alpha, beta

 

2 alpha + 2 beta = 360 degrees

 

==> alpha + beta = 180

 

in triangle formed by angle bisectors,

 

alpha / 2 + beta / 2 + gamma = 180

 

==> gamma = 90 degrees

 

so angle bisectors form a right angle triangle

Since adjacent angles of the parallelogram are supplementary, the angle bisectors will meet each other at 90 degrees. So you have a quadrilateral with all four angles 90 deg each, so the quadrilateral is a rectangle.
