Given: ABCD is a trapezium in which  \small AB\parallel CD and  \small AD=BC

To prove :\small \angle C=\angle D

Proof:   Let \angle A be \angle1, \angleABC be \angle2, \angle EBC be \angle3, \angle BEC be \angle4.

  \angle 1+\angle D= 180 \degree       (Co-interior angles)

  \angle 2+\angle C= 180 \degree        (Co-interior angles)

\therefore \angle 1+\angle D=\angle 2+\angle C

  Thus, \small \angle C=\angle D      (Since ,\small \angle 1=\angle 2 )
