Question -

In the figure, arms BA and BC of ∠ABC are respectively parallel to arms ED and EF of ∠DEF. Prove that ∠ABC + ∠DEF = 180°.



Answer -

Given: In ∠ABC = ∠DEF
BA || ED and BC || EF
To prove: ∠ABC = ∠DEF = 180°
Construction : Produce BC to H intersecting ED at G
 
Proof: ∵ AB || ED
∴ ∠ABC = ∠EGH …(i) (Corresponding angles)
∵ BC or BH || EF
∠EGH || ∠DEF = 180° (Sum of co-interior angles)
⇒ ∠ABC + ∠DEF = 180° [From (i)]
Hence proved.
