Construct a quadrilateral which is not a parallelogram, in which a pair of opposite angles and a pair of opposite sides are equal.
@nathan917 HELP PLease
You trying to prove that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram? or no.
ya ok
What to do now ?
sec.
thank you Sir
A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if one pair of opposite sides are equal and parallel Let ABCD be a quadrilateral in which AB||CD and AB=CD, where || means parallel to. Construct line AC and create triangles ABC and ADC. Now, in triangles ABC and ADC, AB=CD (given) AC = AC (common side) Angle BAC=Angle ACD (corresponding parts of corresponding triangles or CPCTC) Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle CDA by Side Angle Side Angle BCA =Angle DAC by CPCTC And since these are alternate angles, AD||BC. Thus in the quadrilateral ABCD, AB||CD and AD||BC. We conclude ABCD is a parallelogram. This look correct?
