I am working on the same exact proof right now and i am lost
∠DAB + ∠EBA = 180� ⇒ 2∠CAB + 2∠CBA = 180� (Using (1) and (2)) ⇒ ∠CAB + ∠CBA = 90� In ∆ABC, ∠CAB + ∠CBA + ∠ABC = 180� (Angle sum property) ⇒ 90� + ∠ABC = 180� ⇒ ∠ABC = 180� - 90� = 90� Thus, the bisectors of two adjacent supplementary angles include a right angle.
Angle bisectors intersect at the incenter which is equidistant from the sides
The 3 angle bisectors of a triangle intersect in a point known as the INCENTER.
A linear pair would be two angles that form a straight angle of 180 degrees.
The name of the point at which all of a triangle's angle bisectors converge is the incenter.
It's fairly trivial to prove that the angles formed by the angle bisectors of any rhombus (including squares) are right angles.
The angle bisectors of a triangle are the lines which cut the inner angles of a triangle into equal halves. The angle bisectors are concurrent and intersect at the center of the incircle.
If two angle bisectors of a triangle are congruent, then the triangle is isosceles. This is because the angle bisectors of a triangle are concurrent and the angle bisectors of a triangle that are congruent divide the opposite sides of the triangle into two equal segments. So if two angle bisectors are congruent, the sides opposite those angles are also equal, making the triangle isosceles.
Yes.
the definition of an angle bisector is a line that divides an angle into two equal halves. So you need only invoke the definition to prove something is an angle bisector if you already know that the two angles are congruent.
∠DAB + ∠EBA = 180� ⇒ 2∠CAB + 2∠CBA = 180� (Using (1) and (2)) ⇒ ∠CAB + ∠CBA = 90� In ∆ABC, ∠CAB + ∠CBA + ∠ABC = 180� (Angle sum property) ⇒ 90� + ∠ABC = 180� ⇒ ∠ABC = 180� - 90� = 90� Thus, the bisectors of two adjacent supplementary angles include a right angle.
I expect "consecutive angles" are any pair that aren't opposite. Since they are co-interior angles between parallel lines, they are supplementarty (i.e. total 180 deg). When you bisect them, the bisectors join to form a triangle. Two of its angles are halves of the "consecutive angles", and so they total half of 180 deg, which is 90 deg. Hence the third angle is 90 deg (to give angle sum of the triangle as 180 deg), so the bisectors are perpendicular.

In general, they are not. In an isosceles triangle, the perpendicular bisector of the base is the same as the bisector of the angle opposite the base. But the other two perp bisectors are not the same as the angle bisectors. Only in an equilateral triangle is each perp bisector the same as the angle bisector of the angle opposite.
A linear pair would be two angles that form a straight angle of 180 degrees.
