Show that the quadrilateral formed by joining the mid-points of the adjacent sides of a square is also a square.
उत्तर
Join AC and BD
In ΔACD, G and H are the mid-points of DC and AC respectively.
Therefore, GH || AC and GH = `(1)/(2)"AC"` ......(i)
In ΔABC, E and F are the mid-points of AB and BC respectively.
Therefore, EF || AC and EF = `(1)/(2)"AC"` ......(i)
From (i) and (ii)
EF || GH and EF = GH = `(1)/(2)"AC"` .........(iii)
Similarly, it can be proved that
EF || GH and EH = GF = `(1)/(2)"BD"` .........(iv)
But AC = BD ...(diagonals of a square are equal)
Dividing both sides by 2,
`(1)/(2)"BD" = (1)/(2)"AC"` (iv)
From (iii) and (iv)
EF = Gh = EH = GF
Therefore, EFGH is a parallelogram.
Now in ΔGOH and ΔGOF
OH = OF ...(diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other)
OG = O ...(common)
GH = GF
∴ ΔGOH ≅ ΔGOF
∴ ∠GOH = ∠GOF
Now,
∠GOH +∠GOF = 180°
⇒ ∠GOH + ∠GOH = 180°
⇒ 2∠GOH = 180°
⇒ ∠GOH = 90°
Therefore, diagonals of parallelogram EFGH bisect each other and are perpendicular to each other.
Thus, EFGH is a square.
