1. ABCD is a quadrilateral in which angle A = angle C and angle B = angle D Prove that, if the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are equal, then the quadrilateral is a
parallelogram.

Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram, quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement,                                       Reason

∠A = ∠C,                                          Given

∠B = ∠D,                                          Given

Therefore, we have

∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°,            Sum of interior angles of a quadrilateral

2×∠A + 2×∠B = 360°,                         Substitution property of equality

∴ ∠A + ∠B = 360°/2 = 180°

∠A + ∠B, are supplementary  angles,   Angles that sum up to 180°

Similarly,

∠C + ∠D, are supplementary  angles,   Angles that sum up to 180°

Therefore, segment DA is parallel to segment BC, (Lines with supplementary angles on the same side of the transversal)

Similarly, given ∠A = ∠C and ∠B = ∠D, we have;

∠A + ∠D and ∠C + ∠B are supplementary  angles,   Angles that sum up to 180°

Therefore, segment AB is parallel to segment DC, (Lines with supplementary angles on the same side of the transversal)

Therefore;

Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram, quadrilateral with parallel opposite sides.

step-by-step explanation:

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
