Question
In the following diagram, AP and BQ are equal and parallel to each other.
Prove that: AB and PQ bisect each other.
Sum
Solution
In the figure, AP and BQ are equal and parallel to each other.
∴ AP = BQ and AP || BQ.
We need to prove that AB and PQ bisect each other.
The corresponding parts of the congruent triangles are congruent.
∴ OP = OQ ...[ c. p. c .t ]
OA = OB ...[ c. p. c .t ]
Hence AB and PQ bisect each other.
