Q6 of 32 Page 60

In figure 5.34 BA || ED and BC || EF. Show that ABC + DEF = 180°.

Given.


BA || ED and BC || EF


Construction.


Extend ray ED and let it intersect at line BC


Theory.


If 2 lines are parallel then their corresponding angles are equal


If 2 lines are parallel then sum of their internal angles is 180°


Solution


As AB || DE


And CB is transverse


Then by corresponding angles


ABC = CDE


As CB || EF


And DE is transverse


Then by interior angles


FED + CDE = 180°


Hence ;


FED + ABC = 180°
