The length and the properties of a bisector of a parallelogram 

1.  Properties of a bisector of a parallelogram  
By definition, the bisector divides the angle in halves  :
The bisector cuts out an isosceles triangle (in this case, the triangles ABF and DKC)  :
The bisectors of the supplementary angles intersect at a right angle  :
The bisectors of the opposite angles are equal and parallel  :

 

bisector parallelogram

    A16 brown F16 violet     -  bisector of an acute angle

   D16 brown K16 violet   -  bisector of an obtuse angle

   a black , b black    -  sides of a parallelogram

  alpha red  -  acute angle

  beta2 blue  -  obtuse angle

 

Since ABF and DKC are isosceles triangles, the following identities hold  :

bisector parallelogram F1

bisector parallelogram F2
