$\sf Appropriate \: Question: \\$

In Δ ABC and Δ DEF, AB, BC are equal and parallel to DE, EF respectively. Show that

(i) quadrilateral ABED is a parallelogram

(ii) quadrilateral BCFE is a parallelogram

(iii) AC = DF

(iv) Δ ABC ≅ Δ DEF

$\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}$

Given that,

$\sf \: AB \: \parallel \:DE \: and \: AB = DE \\ \\$

We know,

In a quadrilateral, if one pair of opposite sides are equal and parallel, then quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

$\sf\implies \bf \: ABED \: is \: a \: parallelogram. \\ \\$

$\sf\implies\sf \: AD\: \parallel \:BE \: \: and \: \: AD = BE - - - (1) \\ \\$

Further given that,

$\sf \: BC\: \parallel \:EF \: and \: BC = EF \\ \\$

We know,

In a quadrilateral, if one pair of opposite sides are equal and parallel, then quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

$\sf\implies \bf \: BCFE \: is \: a \: parallelogram. \\ \\$

$\sf\implies \sf \: BE\: \parallel \:CF \: \: and \: \: BE = CF - - - (2) \\ \\$

From equation (1) and (2), we concluded that

$\sf\implies \bf \: AD\: \parallel \:CF \: \: and \: \: AD = CF \\ \\$

We know,

In a quadrilateral, if one pair of opposite sides are equal and parallel, then quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

$\sf\implies \bf \: ACFD \: is \: a \: parallelogram. \\ \\$

$\sf\implies \sf \: AC = DF \\ \\$

Now,

$\sf \: In \: \triangle \: ABC \: and \: \triangle \: DEF \\ \\$

$\qquad\sf \: AB = DE \: \: \: \: \{given \} \\ \\$

$\qquad\sf \: BC = EF \: \: \: \: \{given \} \\ \\$

$\qquad\sf \: AC = DF \: \: \: \: \{proved \: above \} \\ \\$

$\sf\implies \bf \: \triangle \: ABC \: \cong \: \triangle \: DEF \: \: \: \{SSS \: Congruency \: rule \} \\ \\$
