1.	2. Prove that the adjacent angles of agm are supplementary
Answer» Let ABCD be a parallelogram Then, AD ∥ BC and AB is a transversal. Therefore, A + B = 180° [Since, sum of the interior angles on the same side of the transversal is 180°] Similarly, ∠B + ∠C = 180°, ∠C + ∠D = 180° and ∠D + ∠A = 180°. Thus, the sum of any two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180°. Hence, any two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

Answer»

Let ABCD be a parallelogram

Then, AD ∥ BC and AB is a transversal.

Therefore, A + B = 180° [Since, sum of the interior angles on the same side of the transversal is 180°]

Similarly, ∠B + ∠C = 180°, ∠C + ∠D = 180° and ∠D + ∠A = 180°.

Thus, the sum of any two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180°.

Hence, any two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.
