03 Show that the opposite angle of parallelogram are
equal.
Answers
Here, ABCD is a parallelogram with AC as its diagonal.
We know, in parallelogram opposites sides are parallel.
So, AB∥DC and AD∥BC
Since, AB∥DC and AC is the transversal
⇒ ∠BAC=∠DCA ---- ( 1 ) [ Alternate angles ]
Similarly, AD∥BC and AC is the transversal.
⇒ ∠DAC=∠BCA ---- ( 2 ) [ Alternate angles ]
Adding ( 1 ) and ( 2 ),
⇒ ∠BAC+∠DAC=∠DCA+∠BCA
⇒ ∠BAD=∠DCB
Similarly, we can prove, ∠ADC=∠ABC
∴ We have proved that, opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.
solution
Step-by-step explanation:
The opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal (and conversely: if the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are equal, it is a parallelogram) The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other (and conversely: if the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, it is a parallelogram)
