Theorem
Let $ABCD$ be a quadrilateral.
Then:
- $ABCD$ is a parallelogram
- $\angle ABC = \angle ADC$ and $\angle BAD = \angle BCD$.
Proof
Sufficient Condition
Let $ABCD$ be a parallelogram.
Then by Opposite Sides and Angles of Parallelogram are Equal:
- $\angle ABC = \angle ADC$ and $\angle BAD = \angle BCD$.
$\Box$
Necessary Condition
Let $ABCD$ be such that:
- $\angle ABC = \angle ADC$ and $\angle BAD = \angle BCD$.
This theorem requires a proof. In particular: Requires a diagram with a construction that allows the use of Equal Alternate Angles implies Parallel Lines, for example.
