Answer:
☞Given:
A parallelogram ABCD.
☞To Prove:
A diagonal divides the parallelogram into two congruent triangles i.e., if diagonal AC is drawn then ∆ABC ≅ ∆CDA and if diagonal BD is drawn then ∆ABD ≅ ∆CDB
☞Construction:
Join A and C
☞Proof:
Sine, ABCD is a parallelogram AB ║ DC and AD ║ BC
In ∆ABC and ∆CDA
∠BAC = ∠DCA [Alternate angles]
∠BCA = ∠DAC [Alternate angles]
And, AC = AC [Common side]
Similarly, we can prove that ∆ABD ≅ ∆CDB
