Given : In a triangle JKL, M and N are respectively the mid-points of JK and JL. If O is any point on KL such that P and Q are respectively the mid-points of OK and OL,
To Find : prove that PMNQ is a parallelogram.
Solution:
In a triangle JKL, M and N are respectively the mid-points of JK and JL
Using converse of (BPT) Thales theorem
MN ║ KL
P & Q are points of KL
=> MN || PQ
Join JO
in Δ KJO
M is mid point of JK and P is mid point of OK
Hence MP ║ JO
Similarly in Δ LJO
N is mid point of JL and Q is mid point of OL
Hence NQ ║ JO
MP ║ JO & NQ ║ JO
=> MP || NQ
MN || PQ & MP || NQ
Both pair of opposite sides are parallel
=> PMNQ is a parallelogram
