Question -

In a quadrilateral ABCD, CO and DO are the bisectors of ∠C and ∠D respectively. Prove that ∠COD = 1/2 (∠A + ∠B).



Answer -

In ΔDOC,

∠CDO + ∠COD + ∠DCO = 1800 [Anglesum property of a triangle]

or 1/2∠CDA + ∠COD + 1/2∠DCB = 1800

 ∠COD =1800 – 1/2(∠CDA + ∠DCB) …..(i)

Also

We know, sum of all angles of a quadrilateral = 3600

∠CDA + ∠DCB = 3600 –(∠DAB + ∠CBA) ……(ii)

Substituting (ii) in (i)

∠COD =1800 – 1/2{3600 – (∠DAB + ∠CBA) }

We can also write, ∠DAB = ∠A and ∠CBA = ∠B

∠COD =1800 − 1800 +1/2(∠A + ∠B))

∠COD =1/2(∠A + ∠B)

Hence Proved.
