Qυєѕтıσи :
If in a quadrilateral, each pair of opposite angles are equal then it is a parallelogram.
Aиѕωєя :
Given: A quadrilateral ABCD in which opposite angles are equal i.e., ∠A = ∠C ad ∠B = ∠D
To prove: ABCD is a parallelogram i.e, AB ║ DC and AD ║ BC.
Proof: Since, the sum of the angles of quadrilateral is 3600
⇒ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 3600
⇒ ∠A + ∠D + ∠A + ∠D = 360
[∠A = ∠C and ∠B = ∠D]
⇒ 2∠A = 2∠D = 3600
⇒ ∠A + ∠D = 1800 [Co-interior angle]
⇒ AB ║ DC
∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 3600
⇒ ∠A + ∠B + ∠A + ∠B = 3600 [∠A = ∠C and ∠B = ∠D] ⇒ 2∠A + 2∠B = 3600
⇒ ∠A + ∠B = 1800
[∵This is sum of interior angles on the same side of transversal AB]
∴ AD ║ BC So, AB ║ DC and AD ║ BC
