True/False:-

Opposite angles of a trapezium are equal.

We know that a regular trapezium has their non parallel sides equal and the angles on either side of the bases are equal.
Considering the trapezium PQRS as shown below;

Here PQSR, and PS acts as transversal; so we have,
P+S = 180° ...(i)and; P = Q  ...(ii)so from (i) and (ii) we get;Q+S = 180°Similarly; P+R = 180°
This means the sum of the opposite angles of trapezium is 180 degree.
Therefore the statement "Opposite angles of a trapezium are equal" is false.
