Step-by-step explanation:
Given:-
ABCD is a Parallelogram and AP||CQ
To find:-
Prove that ∆AOP =~ ∆COQ and APCQ is a Parallelogram
Solution:-
ABCD is a Parallelogram
and AP || CQ
In ∆ AOP and in ∆ COQ
Angle OCQ = Angle OAP
(Alternative Interior angles)
Since AP || CQ and AC is a transversal
angle COQ = angle AOP
(Vertically opposite angles)
angle APO = angle CQO
(Alternative Interior angles)
Since AP || CQ and QP is a transversal
By AAA Property
∆ AOP is congruent to ∆COQ
AP = CQ----------(1)
AO = OC ---------(2)
QO = OP --------(3)
(Corresponding parts in a congruent triangles )
From (2)&(3)
Mid Points are equal
The diagonals are bisecting to each other.
AQ = PC --------(4)
From (1) & (4)
Two pairs of opposite sides are equal.
APCQ is a Parallelogram.
Hence , Proved
Used formulae:-
In a Parallelogram,
- Two pairs of Opposite sides are equal and paralell.
- Diagonals bisect each other.
