Here, ABCD is a quadrilateral with diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E.
⇒ ECAE=EDBE [ Given ]
⇒ BEAE=EDEC ---- ( 1 )
In △ABE and △CDE,
⇒ BEAE=EDEC ] From ( 1 ) ]
⇒ ∠ABE=∠DEC [ Vertically opposites angles ]
∴ △ABE∼△CDE [ By SAS similarity theorem ]
⇒ ∠EDC=∠EBA [ Corresponding angles are equal. ]
∴ ∠BDC=∠ABD
Bu, this is a pair of alternate angles.
∴ AB∥DC
Thus, the quadrilateral ABCD is trapezium.
