b. By joining mid points of sides of a quadrilateral
By finding angle bisectors
d. None of these
Answers
Answer:By finding diagonal of the quadrilateral.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
By joining the midpoints of sides o a quadrilateral, a parallelogram can be formed. Therefore, the correct option is (b)
Step-by-step explanation:
For example in figure ABCD quadrilateral and P, Q, R, and S are midpoints of AB, BC, CD, and AD respectively.
Now, in triangle ACD
S and R are the midpoints of AD and CD respectively.
Therefore, by using the midpoint theorem
SR || AC ................................(1)
And
...........................(2)
Similarly
In triangle ABC
PQ || AC ...............................(3)
...........................(4)
Using equations (2) and (4)
PQ = SR ...............................(5)
Using equations (1) and (3)
PQ || SR ...............................(6)
Using equations (5) and (6)
PQRS is a parallelogram
Therefore, the correct option is (b)
