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, ΔABDΔBCD
So, AD = BC and AB = DC (CPCT)
Also, (1) +(2) gives, ADC=ABC
||ly you can prove, DAB=DCB
