9. Diagonal of a parallelogram
divides it into two congruent
triangles . Proof
10. GIVEN : ABCD is a parallelogram. A .B
AB=CD AD=BC
TO PROVE : ABD CBD
PROOF :In ABD & CBD
(1)AB = CD {Opposite sides of
parallelogram}
D C
(2)AD = BC
(3)BD =BD {Common side}
Thus ABD CBD
HENCE PROVED
12. A B
GIVEN : ABCD is a parallelogram.
TO PROVE : AB =CD
AD =BC
PROOF :In ABD & CBD D C
(1)LADB=LABC (Alternative interior angles)
(2)BD = BD ( Common side )
(3)LBDC= LABD (Alternate interior angles )
ABD BCD
Thus Proved AB = CD (CPCTE)
AD = BC (CPCTE)
(HENCE PROVED)
14. A B
GIVEN : ABCD is a parallelogram.
A
AB=CD AD=BC
TO PROVE : LA = LC LB = LD
PROOF :In ABD & CBD D C
(1)AB = CD Opposite sides of parallelogram
(2)AD = BC
(3)BD =BD Common side
Thus ABD CBD
LC = LA (C.P.C.T.E)
Similarly , LB = LD (C.P.C.T.E)
HENCE PROVED
16. GIVEN : ABCD is a parallelogram
AD=BC A B
TO PROVE: AO=OC
DO=OB
O
PROOF: In AOD & BOC D
(1)LDAO=LBCO (Alt. interior angle)
C
(2)LADO=LCBO (Alt. interior angle)
(3)AD=BC (Given)
Thus AOD BOC
AO=OC (C.P.C.T.E)
DO=OB (C.P.C.T.E)
HENCE PROVED
17. The line segment joining the mid-points of two
sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is
A
half of it. 3
1 E
D F
2
4
B C
Proof
18. Given: In ABC & EFC
AD=DB(mid pt)
AE=EC(mid pt)
To prove: DE IIBC and DE=1/2 BC
Construct: Draw a line from C to extended point F such that it is
parallel to AB.
In ABC & EFC
L1=L2 (V.O.A)
AE=EC
DE=EF
So ABC EFC by SAS
19. AD=CF (C.P.C.T)
L3 = L4 (C.P.C.T)
But they are alternate Interior angles for lines AB and CF
Thus, AB IICF or DB IIFC -(1)
AD=CF (proved)
Also AD=DB (given)
Thus, DB=FC -(2)
From (1) and(2)
DBCF is a parallelogram.
Thus, the other pair DF is parallel to BC and DF=BC (By
construction E is the mid-pt of DF)
Thus, DE=1/2 BC
