Q4 of 23 Page 17

In figure 2.8, sides of PQR and XYZ are parallel to each other. prove that, PQR XYZ

Given PQR AND XYZ are parallel and also YZ and QR are parallel

TO find: PQR XYZ


Construction: extend sag XY such that Q-S-R.



PQ|| XY (given)


PQ || XS and QR is transversals (from construction)


PQR XSR (corresponding angle theorem) if two parallel line are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angle are congruent) ………………………. (1)


YZ||SK and XS is transversals (given)


XYZ XSR (corresponding angle theorem) if two parallel line are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angle are congruent.) …………………………(2)


Equation (1) and (2) right side is equal


So that, PQR XYZ hence proved.
