Question

ABCD is a parallelogram. P and Q are the midpoints of AB and DC. If P and Q are joined, prove that APQD is a parallelogram
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Since AB∥CD [ Opposite sides of ∥

gm

are parallel ]

⇒PB∥QC [ Parts of parallel lines are parallel ]

Also, AB=CD [ Opposite sides of ∥

gm

are equal ]

⇒

1

AB=

2

1

CD

⇒PB=QC [ P is the mid point of Ab and Q is the mid point of DC ]

Since PB∥QC and PB=QC

One pair of opposite sides of PBCQ are equal and parallel.

∴PBCQ is a ∥

gm

.

Hence, the answer is solved.
