l and m are two parallel lines intersected by another pair of parallel lines p and q (see the given figure). Show that ΔABC ≅ ΔCDA.
Can we answer in the following way? If not, Please guide me.
In ΔABC and ΔCDA,
AC=CA {common}
AB=CD {Since two set of parallel lines are intersected by another set of parallel lines}
BC=AD {Since two set of parallel lines are intersected by another set of parallel lines}
So ΔABC ≅ ΔCDA, (SSS Congruence)
Answers
Nope Bro!!
Let it be like this
This one's easy
Since l and m are 2 parallel lines and AC is the transversal
Therefore, AD || BC and AC is the transversal
Therefore, /_DAC = /_ACA (Alternate Angles)
Also /_BAC = /_ACD (Alternate Angles)
Now, In ∆ABC & ∆ CDA
/_DAC = /_ACA (Alternate Angles)
/_BAC = /_ ACD (Alternate Angles)
AC = CA (Common)
Therefore, ∆ABC ≅ ∆CDA (By ASA Congruence rule)
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:
It is given that p q and l m
To prove:
Triangles ABC and CDA are similar i.e. ΔABC ΔCDA
Proof:
Consider the ΔABC and ΔCDA,
(i) BCA = DAC and BAC = DCA Since they are alternate interior angles
(ii) AC = CA as it is the common arm
So, by ASA congruency criterion, triangle ABC triangle CDA.
