Question

In parallelogram ABCD, E is the mid-point of AD and F is the mid-point of BC. Prove that BFDE is a parallelogram.

Sum

Solution

Given: Parallelogram ABCD in which E and F are mid-points of AD and BC respectively.

To Prove: BFDE is a Parallelogram.

Proof: E is the mid-point of AD. (Given)

DE = `1/2` AD

Also, F is mid-point of BC (Given)

BF = `1/2` BC

But AD = BC (opp. sides of parallelogram)

BF = DE

Again AD || BC

⇒ DE || BF

Now DE || BF and DE = BF

Hence BFDE is a parallelogram.
