ABCD is a trapezium in which AB || CD and AD = BC, then A = B is

Construction: Draw perpendicular line from D and C to AB such that it cuts AB at F and E, respectively.

Now, In ∆ADF and BCE,


AD = BC (Given)


AFD = BEC (90o each)


DF = CE (Perpendicular distance between the same parallels)


By SSA axiom


ADF ∆BCE


A = B (by c.p.c.t.)


Therefore Option A is correct.
