Question

Prove that opposite angles of an iscoceles trapezium are supplementry

Open in App
Solution

In an isosceles trapezium AB is parallel to DC and the alternate interior angles are supplementary. So, the angles ∠A and ∠D are supplementary.which means
∠A + ∠D = 180

Similarly, ∠B and ∠C are supplementary.
so, ∠B + ∠C = 180
Since the trapezium is the isosceles trapezium, the base angles are equal. ∠C = ∠DSo by subsituting the anles we get
∠A + ∠C = 180
∠B + ∠D = 180

so the opposite angles are also supplementary
