In Fig 8.113, 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 that alternate angles are equal


ABP = BPF


CDP = DPF


ABP + CDP = BPF + DPF


ABP + CDP = DPB


Hence, proved
