Step-by-step explanation:
To prove :-
- Opposite angles of parallelogram are equal.
Let, Parallelogram be ABCD and BD be diagonal of parallelogram.
We know,
Opposite sides of parallelogram are equal and parallel.
So, AD = BC and AD || BC
And, CD = AB and CD || AB.
In ∆ABD and ∆CDB :
AB = CD [Opposite sides of parallelogram are equal]
BD = DB [Common]
AD = Bc [Opposite sides of parallelogram are equal]
By SSS congruency
∆ABD ≌ ∆CDB
By CPCT
∠A = ∠C
∠CDB = ∠ABD -----(i)
∠ADB = ∠CBD ------(ii)
Add equation (i) and (ii)
➝ ∠CDB + ∠ADB = ∠ABD + ∠CBD
➝ ∠D = ∠B
∠A, ∠B, ∠C and ∠D are angles of parallelogram.
∠A is opposite to ∠C.
∠B is opposite to ∠D.
So,
∠A = ∠C
∠D = ∠B
Hence, Proved!!
Opposite angles of parallelogram are equal.
☆Answer☆
Given: A parallelogram ABCD in which AB||CD and AD||BC.
To prove: Opposite angles are equal i.e. ∠A = ∠C and ∠B = ∠D
Construction: Draw diagonal AC.
Proof:
In ∆ABC and ∆CDA:
∠BAC = ∠DCA [Alternate angles]
∠BCA = ∠DAC [Alternate angles]
AC = AC [Common]
∴ ∆ABC ≅ ∆CDA [By ASA]
⇒ ∠B = ∠D [By cpctc] And, ∠BAD = ∠DCB
i.e., ∠A = ∠C
Similarly, we can prove that ∠B = ∠D
