Question -

The bisectors of base angles of a triangle cannot enclose a right angle in any case.



Answer -

In right ∆ABC, ∠A is the vertex angle and OB and OC are the bisectors of ∠B and ∠C respectively
To prove : ∠BOC cannot be a right angle
Proof: ∵ OB and OC are the bisectors of ∠B and ∠C respectively
 
∴ ∠BOC = 90° x  ∠A
Let ∠BOC = 90°, then
  ∠A = O
⇒∠A = O
Which is not possible because the points A, B and C will be on the same line Hence, ∠BOC cannot be a right angle.
