if a quadrilateral each pair of opposite angles is equal then it is a parallelogram. prove step by step
Answers
EXPLANATION.
→ ABCD is a quadrilateral in Which opposite
sides are parallel.
→ < A = < C and < B = < D
→ To prove → AB || CD and AD || BC.
→ sum of all angles of a quadrilateral is
equal to 360°.
→ < A + < B + < C + < D = 360°.
→ < A + < D + < A + < D = 360°.
[ < A = < C and < B = < D = GIVEN ]
→ 2 < A + 2 < D = 360°.
→ < A + < D = 180°.
→ AB || DC.
→ Similarly,
→ < A + < B + < C + < D = 360°.
→ < A + < B + < A + < B = 360°.
[ < A = < C and < B = < D = GIVEN ]
→ 2 < A + 2 < B = 360°.
→ < A + < B = 180°.
→ AD || BC
→ AB || DC AND AD || BC.
→ So, ABCD is a parallelogram.
Question
if a quadrilateral each pair of opposite angles is equal then it is parallelogram. Prove step by step.
Given
- ABCD is a quadrilateral whose opposite angles are equal
- example - ∠A = ∠C and ∠B = ∠D
Required to Prove
ABCD is a parallelogram
proof
As we know that sum of angle of quadrilateral is 360°
→ ∠A + ∠B ∠C + D = 360°
→ A = ∠C and ∠B = ∠D
→ ∠ A + ∠D + ∠A + ∠D = 360°
→ 2 ∠A + 2 ∠D = 360°
→ 2 ∠A = 2 ∠D = 360°
→ ∠A + ∠D = 180° (co - interior angle )
AB || DC
So,
= ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
= ∠A ∠B + ∠A + ∠B = 360°
= ( ∠A = ∠C and ∠B = ∠D )
= 2 ∠A + 2 ∠B = 369°
= ∠A + ∠B = 180°
AD || BC
therefore AB || DC and AD || BC
Hence ABCD is parallelogram.

Properties of Parallelogram
- Opposite sides are congruent ( AB = DC )
- Each diagonal of a parallelogram separates it into two congruent triangles.
- The diagonal of parallelogram bisect each other.
- Consecutive angles are supplemtary ( A + D = 180° )
- If one angle is right, then all the angles are right
- Opposite angles are congruent ( D = B )
