Theorem

If a Transversal Intersects Two Parallel Lines, Then Each Pair of Interior Angles on the Same Side of the Transversal is Supplementary.

Given: Two parallel lines AB and CD and a transversal PS intersecting AB at Q and CD at R.

To Prove: Sum of interior angles on the same side of transversal is supplementary.

i.e., ∠ AQR + ∠ CRQ = 180°.

and ∠ BQR + ∠ DRQ = 180°.

Proof: 

For lines AB and CD, with transversal PS

∠ AQP = ∠ CRQ                 .....(Corresponding angles)(1)

For lines PS,

∠ AQP + ∠ AQR = 180°.     .....(Linear pair)(2)

Putting (1) in (2),

∠ AQP + ∠ CRQ = 180°.

Similarly,

We can prove, ∠ BQR + ∠ DRQ = 180°.

Hence, the sum of interior angles on the same side of transversal is 180°.

Hence proved.
