In figure, prove that p||m.
In Δ BCD, ∠ B + ∠ C + ∠ D = 180° [Sum of the angles of a triangle is 180° ]
⇒ ∠ B + 45° + 35° = 180°
⇒ ∠ B = 180° - (45° +35° )
= 180° - 80°
⇒ ∠ DBC = 100° ………………………..(i)
∠ DBE + ∠ DBC = 180° [Linear pair axiom]
Þ ∠ DBE + 100° = 180° [From (i)]
Þ ∠ DBE = 180° - 100° = 80°
⇒ ∠ DBE = ∠ FAB
But these angles form a pair of corresponding angles when p and m are cut by a transversal n, which are equal.
∴ p || m.
