Draw a four-sided figure ABCDwith AB¯∥DC¯andAD¯∥BC¯

  1. Prove that∠A≅∠C
  2. Is ∠B≅∠D?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. Proof is


Statement

Reason

1.AB¯∥DC¯andAD¯∥BC¯

Given

2.∠A is supplementary to∠B

Same-side interior angles

3.∠B is supplementary to∠C

Same-side interior angles

4.∠A≅∠C

If two angles are supplementary of same angle then both angles are congruent

b. Yes,∠B≅∠D

Step by step solution

01

Part a. Step 1. Draw required figure.

02

Part a. Step 2. Observe figure.

Line segment AB¯is transversal to parallel lines AD¯andBC¯

Line segmentBC¯is transversal to parallel linesAB¯ andDC¯

03

Part a. Step 3. Write two column proof to prove that ∠A≅∠C.

Statement

Reason

1.AB¯∥DC¯andAD¯∥BC¯

Given

2.∠A is supplementary to∠B

Same-side interior angles

3.∠B is supplementary to∠C

Same-side interior angles

4.∠A≅∠C

If two angles are supplementary of same angle then both angles are congruent

Hence ∠A≅∠C proved.

04

Part b. Step 1. First Observation from figure.

Line segment AB¯is transversal to parallel lines AD¯and BC¯

Line segment AD¯is transversal to parallel lines AB¯andDC¯

05

Part b. Step 2. Second observation from figure.

∠Aand∠B forms a pair of same-side interior angles

∠Aand∠D forms a pair of same-side interior angles

06

Part b. Step 3. Same-side interior angles.

Using theorem:. If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal line than the pairs of same side interior angles are supplementary.

∠Ais supplementary to∠B and∠A is supplementary to∠D

If two angles are supplementary of same angle then both angles are congruent

Hence,∠B≅∠D
