The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the measure of angle APB in the parallelogram ABCD, where P is the intersection of the angle bisectors of angles A and B. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Properties of a Parallelogram**: In a parallelogram, adjacent angles are supplementary. Therefore, we have: \[ \angle A + \angle B = 180^\circ \] 2. **Using the Angle Bisector**: Let’s denote: - \(\angle A = a\) - \(\angle B = b\) From the property of the parallelogram, we know: \[ a + b = 180^\circ \] The angle bisector of angle A divides it into two equal parts: \[ \angle APD = \frac{a}{2} \] Similarly, the angle bisector of angle B divides it into two equal parts: \[ \angle BPC = \frac{b}{2} \] 3. **Finding the Measure of Angle APB**: In triangle APB, the sum of the angles is: \[ \angle APB + \angle APD + \angle BPC = 180^\circ \] Substituting the values we have: \[ \angle APB + \frac{a}{2} + \frac{b}{2} = 180^\circ \] Since \(a + b = 180^\circ\), we can replace \(\frac{a}{2} + \frac{b}{2}\) with: \[ \frac{a + b}{2} = \frac{180^\circ}{2} = 90^\circ \] Therefore, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ \angle APB + 90^\circ = 180^\circ \] 4. **Solving for Angle APB**: Rearranging gives us: \[ \angle APB = 180^\circ - 90^\circ = 90^\circ \] ### Conclusion: The measure of angle APB is \(90^\circ\).
