Homework Statement


In the parallelogram ABCD the internal bisectors of the consecutive angles B and C intersect at P. Use vector method to find angle BPC.

Homework Equations



The Attempt at a Solution


I assume angle BPC to be θ and the point of intersection of internal bisectors to be P. But what is the next operation which I should use? I tried taking dot product of PB and PC but I don't yet know the magnitudes of both vectors.

Invent some vector variables to represent, say, CD and CB. What vector represents the direction of the bisector of BCD? How about that of ABC?
