Trapezium is a quadrilateral with

one pair of opposite sides parallel

Here, AB ∥ CD

 

Thus, sum of adjacent angles in trapezium is 180°

 

Property:

Adjacent angles of Trapezium are supplementary

i.e. ∠ A + ∠ D = 180°

      ∠ B + ∠ C = 180°

 

Let’s look at its proof

Trapezium - Part 2

Thus, sum of adjacent angles in trapezium is 180°

AB ∥ CD and AD is transversal So, ∠ A & ∠ D are angles on same side of transversal Sum of Interior angles on same side of transversal is 180 ° ∴ ∠ A + ∠ D = 180° AB ∥ CD and BC is transversal AB ∥ CD and BC is transversal So, ∠ B & ∠ C are angles on same side of transversal Sum of Interior angles on same side of transversal is 180 ° ∴ ∠ B + ∠ C = 180° Thus, sum of adjacent angles in trapezium is 180°
