प्रश्न

ABCD is a trapezium in which side AB is parallel to side DC. P is the mid-point of side AD. IF Q is a point on the Side BC such that the segment PQ is parallel to DC, prove that PQ = `(1)/(2)("AB" + "DC")`.

योग

उत्तर


PQ || DC  ⇒ OQ || DC ||AB
Therefore, Q and O are mid-points of BC and BD respectively.
In ΔABD,
P and O are mid-points of AD and BD respectively

⇒ OP = `(1)/(2)"AB"`     ........(i)

In ΔBCD,
Q and O are mid-points of BC and BD respectively

⇒ OQ = `(1)/(2)"CD"`  ........(ii)

Adding (i) and (ii)

OP + OQ = `(1)/(2)"AB" + (1)/(2)"CD"`

⇒ PQ = `(1)/(2)("AB" + "CD")`.
