In the below fig, lines AB and CD are parallel and P is any point as shown in the figure. Show that ∠ABP + ∠CDP = ∠DPB.
Given that AB ∥ CD
Let EF be the parallel line to AB and CD which passes through P
It can be seen from the figure
Alternative angles are equal
∠ABP = ∠BPF
Alternative angles are equal
∠CDP = ∠DPF
∠ABP + ∠CDP = ∠BPF + ∠DPF
∠ABP + ∠CDP = ∠DPB
Hence proved
AB parallel to CD, P is any point
To prove: ∠ABP + ∠BPD + ∠CDP = 360°
Construction: Draw EF ∥ AB passing through P
Proof:
Since AB ∥ EF and AB ∥ CD, Therefore EF ∥ CD [Lines parallel to the same line are parallel to each other)
∠ABP + ∠EPB = 180° [Sum of co-interior angles is 180)
∠EPD + ∠COP = 180° ....(1) [Sum of co-interior angles is 180)
∠EPD + ∠CDP = 180° ....(2)
By adding (1) end (2)
∠ABP + ∠EPB + ∠EPD + ∠CDP = (180 + 180)°
∠ABP + ∠EPB + ∠COP = 360°
