प्रश्न

In triangle ABC, angle B is obtuse. D and E are mid-points of sides AB and BC respectively and F is a point on side AC such that EF is parallel to AB. Show that BEFD is a parallelogram.

योग

उत्तर

The figure is shown below

AD = DB BE = EC

EF || AB

In Δ ABC

E is the midpoint of AB and 

EF || AB

∴ By the midpoint theorem, F will be the midpoint of AC

As D and F are midpoints of AC and AC  respectively

∴ By the midpoint theorem of DF ||BC or BE

Since DF || BE and EF || ED

Hence BEFD is a parallelogram.
