Answer:
I don't have a feature to send pics so sorry for that
Step-by-step explanation:
here we have ABCD as parallelogram and E&F are mid points of AB &CD.
Since we know by the property of parallelogram
AB=CD and AD=BC
Now by mid points we got
AE=EB and CF=FD
now again by property of parallelogram we said that
AE=DF=EB=FC
=>{DF=EB}
Now by above 2nd condition
we got two new lengths as AF & EC and also make two triangle as ADF and BEC
Now to prove AF=EC, first we've make those triangles congrent,
1st: AD=BC (AD from ADF and BC from BCE)
2nd: /_ADF=/_CBE (/_ADF from ADF and /_CBE from BCE)
3rd: /_AFD=/_CEB (". ". ". ". ". ". ". " )
So by AAS property
triangleADF≈ triangle CEB
so by this we said that {AF=EC}
here the 3rd point is taken from figure of parallelogram bit I don't have features so I can't send the pics of solution
