Solution
Consider a ||gm ABCD, such that AB||CD and BC||AD. Now, consider ΔABD&ΔBCD, ∠BDC=∠ABD(Alt.int.∠S) ------------ (1) &∠ADB=∠DBC(Alt.int.∠S) ---------- (2) BD = BD (Common) So, by ASA congromy, ΔABD≅ΔBCD So, AD = BC and AB = DC (CPCT) Also, (1) +(2) gives, ∠ADC=∠ABC ||ly you can prove, ∠DAB=∠DCB
