Answer» Draw BL⊥PQ and CM⊥RS. As PQ∥RS, so, BL∥CM. The alternate INTERIOR angles are equal, so, ∠LBC=∠MCB (1) It is known that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of INCIDENCE, THEREFORE, ∠ABL=∠LBC (2) And, ∠MCB=∠MCD (3) From equation (1), (2) and (3), ∠ABL=∠MCD (4) Add equation (1) and (4), ∠LBC+∠ABL=∠MCB+∠MCD ∠ABC=∠BCD Since, these are the interior angles and are equal, hence, AB∥CD. |
