Question
Without using a protractor, can you verify that every angle of the vacant quadrilateral in the adjacent figure is a right angle ?

Answer
In the square ABCD the shaded triangles are right-angled and are the same.
In ∆LBM,
m∠BLM + m∠BML + m∠LBM = 180° …. (Sum of the measures of the angles of a triangles is 180° )
∴ m∠BLM + m∠BML + 90° = 180°
∴ m∠BLM + m∠BML = 90° …. (i)
Now, ∆LBM and ∆LAP are same.
∴ m∠BML = m∠ALP …. (ii)
∴ m∠BLM + m∠ALP = 90° …. IFrom (i) and (ii)l
Now, m∠ALP + m∠PLM + m∠BLM = 180° …. (The measure of a straight angle is 180°)
∴ m∠ALP + m∠BLM + m∠PLM = 180°
∴ 90° + m∠PLM = 180°
∴ m∠PLM = 180°- 90° = 90°
∴ m∠PLM is a right angle.
Similarly, we can prove that the other angles of the vacant quadrilateral are right angles.
