A parallelogram ABCD
(i) AB = DC
(ii) BC = AD
Join AC
In triangles ABC and CDA
Angle 1 = Angle 2 [ Alternate interior angles ]
Angle 3 = Angle 4 [ Alternate interior angles ]
AC = AC [ Common ]
∴ By ASA Congrency
Triangle ABC is congrent to Triangle CDA
∴ AB = CD [ C.P.C.T ]
BC = AD [ C.P.C.T ]

ASA Congruence Rule ( Angle – Side – Angle )
Two triangles are congruent if their corresponding two angles and one included side are equal .

In a parallelogram opposite sides are equal
Given that
A Parallelogram ABCD
→Prove that
•)AB=CD
•) AD=BC
Let ABCD be a parallelogram
Then AB//CD(means AB parallel to BC)
Draw the diagonal AC
In ∆ABC and ∆ADC
AC=AC[Common side]
∠ACD=∠CAB[Pair of alternate angles]
∠DAC=∠ACB[Pair of alternate angles]
∆ABC≅∆ADC[ASA Congruent Theorem]
AB=CD and
AD=BC[Sides opposite to equal angles are equal]
ie,In a Parallelogram, opposite sides are equal.
Hope it helps you
