The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given information about the parallel lines and the angle bisectors. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Configuration We have two parallel lines, `APB` and `CQD`. The angles formed by these lines with a transversal line `PQ` create angles `APQ`, `BPQ`, `CQP`, and `PQD`. **Hint:** Visualize the parallel lines and the transversal to understand the angles formed. ### Step 2: Identify the Angle Bisectors Let’s denote the angle bisectors of the angles: - The bisector of angle `APQ` as `MP` - The bisector of angle `BPQ` as `NP` - The bisector of angle `CQP` as `MQ` - The bisector of angle `PQD` as `NQ` **Hint:** Remember that the angle bisector divides the angle into two equal parts. ### Step 3: Establish Relationships Between Angles Since `MP` is the bisector of angle `APQ`, we have: - Angle `1` = Angle `5` (where angle `1` is part of angle `APQ` and angle `5` is formed by the bisector) Similarly, we can establish: - Angle `2` = Angle `6` - Angle `3` = Angle `7` - Angle `4` = Angle `8` **Hint:** Use the property of angle bisectors to write down equalities for the angles. ### Step 4: Use the Properties of Parallel Lines Since `APB` and `CQD` are parallel, we can use the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem: - Angle `APQ` (angle `1` + angle `5`) = Angle `DQK` (angle `4` + angle `8`) This means: - Angle `1` + Angle `5` = Angle `4` + Angle `8` Using the relationships established in Step 3, we can say: - Angle `1` = Angle `4` and Angle `2` = Angle `3` **Hint:** Recall that alternate angles are equal when two lines are parallel. ### Step 5: Establish Parallelism of Bisectors From the equal angles, we can conclude: - Since angle `1` = angle `4`, the lines `MP` and `NQ` are parallel. - Since angle `2` = angle `3`, the lines `MP` and `MQ` are also parallel. **Hint:** Use the properties of angles to determine the relationships between the lines. ### Step 6: Determine the Shape Formed Since we have established that: - `MP` is parallel to `NQ` - `MQ` is parallel to `PN` This indicates that the figure formed by the bisectors is a parallelogram. ### Step 7: Check for Right Angles To determine if the parallelogram is a rectangle, we need to check if any angles are right angles. Since the angles formed by the transversal with the parallel lines sum up to 180 degrees, we can conclude that: - Angle `3` + Angle `4` = 90 degrees. Thus, the angles formed by the bisectors are right angles, confirming that the parallelogram is a rectangle. **Hint:** Remember that a rectangle is a special type of parallelogram where all angles are right angles. ### Conclusion Therefore, the bisectors of the angles `APQ`, `BPQ`, `CQP`, and `PQD` form a rectangle. **Final Answer:** The bisectors form a rectangle.
