Question
Prove that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Solution
Given: ||gm ABCD in which diagonals AC and BD bisect each other.
To Prove : OA = OC and OB = OD
Proof : AB || CD (Given)
∠1 = ∠2 (alternate ∠s)
∠3 = ∠4 = (alternate ∠s)
and AB = CD (opposite sides of //gm)
∆COD = ∆AOB (A.S.A. rule)
OA = OC and OB = OD
Hence the result.
