ABCD is trapezium in which AB || CD. If AD = BC, show that angle
Answers
pls write the full question bro
Given:
ABCD is a trapezium in which AB//CD and AD=BC
To prove:
Angle A= Angle B
Construction:
Extend AB and draw a line through C parallel to DA intersecting AB produced at E
Proof:
AD // CE (from construction)
& AE // DC (As AB // DC, & AB is extended)
In AECD, both pair of opposite sides are parallel,
AECD is a parallelogram.....
.: AD = CE (opposite sides of parallelogram)
But AD = BC (given)
=> BC = CE
so, angle CEB = angle CBE ( In triangle BCE, angle opposite to equal sides are equal) - (1)
For AD//CE
& AE is transversal
angle A + angle CEB = 180* (Interior angle on the same side of transversal is supplementary)
angle A = 180* - angle CEB - (2)
For AE is a line
So, angle B + angle CBE = 180* (Linear pair)
angle B + CEB = 180* (from eq (1))
angle B = 180* - angle CEB - (3)
From (2) & (3)
Angle A = Angle B
Hence Proved....
