The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the properties of the angles formed by the angle bisectors of a quadrilateral ABCD. Let's go through the solution step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Quadrilateral and the Bisectors**: - We have a quadrilateral ABCD. - The angle bisectors of angles A and B intersect at point P, B and C at Q, C and D at R, and D and A at S. 2. **Identifying Vertically Opposite Angles**: - We know that angle QPS is equal to angle APB because they are vertically opposite angles. 3. **Applying the Angle Sum Property**: - In triangle APB, we can apply the angle sum property: \[ \text{Angle APB} + \frac{1}{2} \text{Angle A} + \frac{1}{2} \text{Angle B} = 180^\circ \] - Rearranging gives us: \[ \text{Angle APB} = 180^\circ - \left(\frac{1}{2} \text{Angle A} + \frac{1}{2} \text{Angle B}\right) \] - We can label this as Equation (1). 4. **Finding Angle QPS**: - Since angle QPS = angle APB, we can substitute from Equation (1): \[ \text{Angle QPS} = 180^\circ - \left(\frac{1}{2} \text{Angle A} + \frac{1}{2} \text{Angle B}\right) \] - We can label this as Equation (2). 5. **Repeating for Angle QRS**: - Similarly, we can find angle QRS: \[ \text{Angle QRS} = 180^\circ - \left(\frac{1}{2} \text{Angle C} + \frac{1}{2} \text{Angle D}\right) \] - We can label this as Equation (3). 6. **Summing Angles QPS and QRS**: - Now, we can sum angles QPS and QRS: \[ \text{Angle QPS} + \text{Angle QRS} = \left(180^\circ - \left(\frac{1}{2} \text{Angle A} + \frac{1}{2} \text{Angle B}\right)\right) + \left(180^\circ - \left(\frac{1}{2} \text{Angle C} + \frac{1}{2} \text{Angle D}\right)\right) \] - This simplifies to: \[ \text{Angle QPS} + \text{Angle QRS} = 360^\circ - \left(\frac{1}{2} (\text{Angle A} + \text{Angle B} + \text{Angle C} + \text{Angle D})\right) \] 7. **Using the Angle Sum Property of Quadrilaterals**: - We know that the sum of angles in a quadrilateral is 360 degrees: \[ \text{Angle A} + \text{Angle B} + \text{Angle C} + \text{Angle D} = 360^\circ \] - Therefore: \[ \frac{1}{2} (\text{Angle A} + \text{Angle B} + \text{Angle C} + \text{Angle D}) = 180^\circ \] - Substituting this back gives: \[ \text{Angle QPS} + \text{Angle QRS} = 360^\circ - 180^\circ = 180^\circ \] 8. **Conclusion**: - Since the sum of angles QPS and QRS is 180 degrees, we can conclude that the quadrilateral PQRS has opposite angles that are supplementary. - Thus, the answer is: **(D) Quadrilateral whose opposite angles are supplementary.**
