Given: line AB || line CD
Rays QX, RX, QY, RY are the bisectors of ∠AQR, ∠QRC, ∠BQR and ∠QRD respectively.
To prove: □QXRY is a rectangle.
∠XQA = ∠XQR = x° ……(i) [Ray QX bisects ∠AQR]
∠YQR = ∠YQB =y° …….(ii) [Ray QY bisects ∠BQR]
∠XRQ = ∠XRC = u° …….. (iii) [Ray RX bisects ∠CRQ]
∠YRQ = ∠YRD = v° ……(iv) [Ray RY bisects ∠DRQ]
line AB || line CD and line PS is their transversal.
∠AQR+ ∠CRQ= 180° [Interior angles]
(∠XQA + ∠XQR) + (∠XRQ + ∠XRC) = 180° [Angle addition property]
∴ (x + x) + (u + u) = 180° [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ 2x + 2u = 180°
∴ 2(x + u) = 180°
∴ x + u = 90° ……..(v)
In ∆XQR
∠XQR + ∠XRQ + ∠QXR = 180° [Sum of the measures of the angles of triangle is 180°]
∴ x + u + ∠QXR = 180° [From (i) and (iii)]
∴ 90 + ∠QXR = 180° [From (v)]
∴ ∠QXR = 180°- 90°
∴ ∠QXR = 90° …..(vi)
Similarily we can prove that,
∴ y + v = 90°
Hence ∠QYR = 90° ……(vii)
Now, ∠AQR + ∠BQR = 180° [Angles is linear pair]
(∠XQA + ∠XQR) + (∠YQR + ∠YQB) = 180° [Angle addition property]
∴ (x + x) + (y + y) = 180° [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ 2x + 2y = 180°
∴ 2(x+y) = 180°
∴ x +y = 90°
i.e. ∠XQR + ∠YQR = 90° [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ ∠XQY = 90° ….(viii) [Angle addition property]
Similarly we can prove that,
∠XRY = 90° …(ix)
In □QXRY
∠QXR = ∠QYR = ∠XQY = ∠XRY = 90° [From (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix)]
∴□ QXRY is a rectangle.
