In the adjoining figure, ABCD is a kite in which AB=AD and
CB=CD. If E, F, G are respectively the mid-points of AB, AD
and CD, prove that:
(i) <EFG = 90°,
(ii) If GH || FE, then H bisects CB.

(i) It is given that
ABCD is a kite in which BC=CD, AB=AD
E, F, G are midpoints of CD, BC and AB
To prove :
∠EFG=90°
Construction :
Join AC and BD
Construct GH through G paralled to FE
Proof:
We know that,
Diagonals of a kite intersect at right angles
∴∠MON=90°...(1)
In △BCD
E and F are midpoints of CD and BC
⇒EF∥DB and EF=1/2DB...(2) [ By basic proportionality theorem ]
Now, EF∥DB⇒MF∥ON
Similarly, FG∥CA⇒FN∥MO
Therefore, in quadrilateral MFNO,
MF∥ON, FN∥MO and ∠MON=90°
⇒MFNO is a square.
∴∠EFG=90°
Your 1st part is given in text and 2nd part is in image.
hope it helps you
