12. ABCD is a trapezium in which AB || CD and AD = BC (see Fig. 8.23). Show that

(ii)∠C = ∠D
(iii)ΔABC ≅ ΔBAD
(iv)diagonal AC = diagonal BD
[Hint : Extend AB and draw a line through C parallel to DA intersecting AB produced at E.]
Answers
Answer:
Quadrilateral:
The closed figure formed by joining four non collinear points in an order is called a quadrilateral.
Trapezium:
A quadrilateral in which one pair of opposite sides are parallel is called a trapezium.
=================================
Given, ABCD is a trapezium in which AB||CD & AD=BC
To Show:
(i) ∠A = ∠B
(ii) ∠C = ∠D
(iii) ΔABC ≅ ΔBAD
(iv) diagonal AC = diagonal BD
- Construction: Draw a line through C parallel to DA intersecting AB produced at E.
Proof:
i)
AB||CD(given)
AD||EC (by construction)
So ,ADCE is a parallelogram
CE = AD (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)
AD = BC (Given)
We know that ,
∠A+∠E= 180°
[interior angles on the same side of the transversal AE]
∠E= 180° - ∠A
Also, BC = CE
∠E = ∠CBE= 180° -∠A
∠ABC= 180° - ∠CBE
[ABE is a straight line]
∠ABC= 180° - (180°-∠A)
∠ABC= 180° - 180°+∠A
∠B= ∠A………(i)
(ii) ∠A + ∠D = ∠B + ∠C = 180°
(Angles on the same side of transversal)
∠A + ∠D = ∠A + ∠C
(∠A = ∠B) from eq (i)
∠D = ∠C
(iii) In ΔABC and ΔBAD,
AB = AB (Common)
∠DBA = ∠CBA(from eq (i)
AD = BC (Given)
ΔABC ≅ ΔBAD
(by SAS congruence rule)
(iv) Diagonal AC = diagonal BD
(by CPCT as ΔABC ≅ ΔBAD)
