Answer
From figure,
DE and BF are bisectors of angles D and B respectively.
In parallelogram ABCD,
⇒ ∠B = ∠D (Opposite angles of || gm are equal)
⇒
⇒ ∠FBC = ∠ADE.
In △ ADE and △ CBF,
⇒ ∠ADE = ∠FBC (Proved above)
⇒ AD = BC (Opposite sides of || gm ABCD are equal)
⇒ ∠DAE = ∠BCF (Opposite angles of || gm ABCD are equal)
∴ △ ADE ≅ △ CBF (By A.S.A. axiom)
We know that,
Corresponding sides of congruent triangle are equal.
∴ AE = CF
Since, AE = CF and AB = CD,
∴ BE = DF
In parallelogram ABCD,
⇒ AB || CD
⇒ BE || DF
Since,
BE = DF and BE || DF
In quadrilateral BEDF, one of the pair of opposite sides are equal and parallel.
∴ BEDF is a parallelogram.
∴ DE || BF.
Hence, proved that bisectors of opposite angles of a parallelogram are parallel.
