Solution

According to the question,

In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal.

Given: Parallelogram ABCD

To prove: A=C and B=D

Proof :

In parallelogram ABCD
Consider,

AD||BC andAB is transversal

A+B=180°[interior Angles on the same side of transversal]… (i)

Now, consider AB||DC and BCtransversal

B+C=180°[interior Angles on the same side of transversal]… (ii)

From (i) and (ii) we get ;

A+B=B+C

A+B-B=C

A=C

Similarly, B=D

Hence, it is proved that opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal
