Step-by-step explanation:
GIVEN: A parallelogram ABCD , Its diagonals, AC & BD intersect at O.
TO PROVE: AO = CO & BO = DO
PROOF: First we prove that opposite triangles formed by diagonals are congruent.. like..
In tri AOB & tri COD
< A = < c ( alternate interior angles, formed by AB // CD)
< B = < D ( same reason)
& AB = CD ( opposite angles of parallelogram)
=> tri AOB congruent to tri COD ( by ASA congruence theorem)
=> AO = CO & BO = DO ( cpct)

Step-by-step explanation:
Let consider a parallelogram ABCD in which AB||CD and AD||BC.
In ∆AOB and ∆COD , we have
∠DCO=∠OAB (ALTERNATE ANGLE)
∠CDO= ∠OBA. (ALTERNATE ANGLE)
AB=CD. (OPPOSITE SIDES OF ||gram)
therefore , ∆ AOB ≅ ∆COD. (ASA congruency)
hence , AO=OC and BO= OD. (C.P.C.T)
