Given:-
- ABCD is a quadrilateral P,Q,R & S are the midpoints of the respective sides.
To Prove:-
- PR and QS bisect each other
Proof:-
By midpoint Theorem:-
- Join PQ,QR,RS,PS
- Join diagonals AC and BD
• In ΔABC,
→P and Q r the midpoints of AB and BC respectively
→Therefore by midpoint theorem, PQ is parallel to AC and PQ=1/2AC
→In the same way prove that SR is parallel to AC and SR=1/2AC
→Therefore, since the opposite sides are equal and parallel PQRS is a parallelogram
→In a parallelogram diagonals bisect each other
[Hence Proved!!]
