9) Prove that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram if a pair of opposite sides is equal and parallel.​

Answer»

ong>Answer:

GIVEN: ABCD is QUADRILATERAL and AB║CD, AB=CD.

To prove: ABCD is a parallelogram

Proof: AC is a transversal and ALSO AB║CD, therefore

∠BAC=∠DCA(ALTERNATE angles)

In ΔADC and ΔCBA, we have

AB=CD(Given)

∠BAC=∠DCA(Alternate angles)

AC=CA(Common)

ΔADC≅ΔCBA by the SAS rule.

Hence, by CPCT, DA=BC

Thus, Both the pair of opposite sides are equal in the quadrilateral ABCD, therefore ABCD is a parallelogram.

Hence proved.
