Explanation:

Given: A parallelogram ABCD with AC as its diagonal

To prove: <A=C & <B=<D

Proof:

Opposite sides of parallelogram is parallel

So, AB || DC and AD || BC.

Since AB || DC

& AC is the transversal

< BAC = < DCA (Alternate angles...(1) )

Since AD || BC & AC is the transversal

<DAC = < BCA (Alternate angles)...(2)

when adding equation 1 and 2

<A=<C

In similar case,

<B=<D

Prove that : opposite side of parallelogram are equal​-example-1
