Given: ABCD is a parallelogram. AO is the angle bisector of ∠DAB and BO is the angle bisector of ∠ABC.
To prove: ∠AOB = 90°
Proof: AB ∥ CD and AD ∥ BC
Sum of corresponding interior angles is 180°.
⇒ ∠DAB + ∠ABC = 180°
⇒ ∠DAB + ∠ABC = x 180°
⇒ ∠OAB + ∠OBA = 90° ………..(1)
In Δ AOB, sum of all angles in triangle is 180°.
⇒ ∠OAB + ∠OBA + ∠BOA = 180°
⇒ 90° + ∠BOA = 180°
⇒ ∠BOA = 180° - 90°
⇒ ∠BOA = 90°
Hence, the bisectors of any two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are at right angle.
