Given: ABCD is a parallelogram. AC is a diagonal of parallelogram ABCD which divides it into two triangles, namely, ∆ABC and ∆CDA.


To Prove: ∆ABC ≅ ∆CDA
Proof: BC || DA
| Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel
and AC is a transversal
∴ ∠BCA = ∠DAC    ...(1)
| Pair of alternate interior angles
Also, AB || DC
Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel
and AC is a transversal
∴ ∠BAC = ∠DCA    ...(2)
| Pair of alternate interior angles
AC = CA    ...(3) | Common
In view of (1), (2) and (3),
∆ABC ≅ ∆CDA
| ASA congruence criterion
