Step-by-step explanation:
Here, AB∣∣DC
M and N are the mid points of sides AD and BC respectively.
MN is joined.
To prove : MN∣∣AB or DC.
Produce AD and BC to meet at P.
Now, In △PAB
DC∣∣AB
DA/PD
= CB/PC
2PM/PD
= 2CN/PP
M and N are midpoints of AD and BC respectively.
PM/PD
=
CN
PC
MN∣∣DC But DC∣∣AB
Therefore, MN∣∣DC∣∣AB
