Answer
Given: ABCD is a trapezium where AB∣∣CD and AD=BC
Construction : Extends AB and draw a line through C point to DA intersecting AB produced at E
Prrof: AD∣∣CE (from construction) &
AE∣∣DC (AS AB∣∣CD, & AB is extended)
AECD is a parallelogram.
In AECD, both pair of opposite sides are parallel.
∴AD=CE (opposite sides of parallelogram are equal)
But AD=BC (Given)
⇒BC=CE
So, ∠CEB=∠CBE ...(1) ( In ΔBCE, angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
For AD∣∣CE,
& AE is the transversal,
∠A+∠CEB=180
o
[interior angles on same side of transversal is supplementary]
∠A=180
o
−∠CEB ....(2)
Also AE is line,
so, ∠B+∠CE=180
o
(liner pairs)
∠B+∠CBE=180
0
(from (1))
∠B=180
o
−∠CBE ....(3)
from (2) and (3)
∠A=∠B
∴ The answer is ∠A=∠B
