Fill in the Blanks

Complete the following statement by means of one of those given in brackets against each:

If one pair of opposite sides are equal and parallel, then the figure is ........................

#### Options

• parallelogram

• rectangle

• trapezium

#### Solution

If one pair of opposite sides are equal and parallel, then the figure is parallelogram.

Reason:

In ΔABC and ΔCDA,

AB = DC Given)

AC = AC (Common)

∠BAC = ∠DCA (Because  AB || CD, Alternate interior angles are equal)

So, by SAS Congruence rule, we have

ΔABC ≅ ΔCDA

Also,

∠BCA =∠DAC (Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equal)

But, these are alternate interior angles, which are equal.

Thus,  AB || CD and AD || BC

Is there an error in this question or solution?
