To verify that the quadrilateral obtained by joining the mid- point of a quadrilateral is a parallelogram
- Let ABCD be any rhombus and P,Q,R,S be the mid points of AB,BC,CD and DA respectively.
- Then we know that by the property of rhombus that AC∥PQ.
Observing △ACB and △PQB
∠ABC=∠PBQ(same angles)
∠BAC=∠BPQ(corresponding angles)
∠BCA=∠BQP(corresponding angles)
△ABC is similer to △PBQ
⇒ AC/PQ = BC /BQ
⇒PQ= 1/2 AC
Similarly taking △BCD and △RCQ
RQ= 1/2 BD
Then again △ADC and △SDR
SSR1/2 AC
And at last
SP= 1/2BD
∴PQ=SRandRQ=SP
Opposite sides are equal.
Now,
∠APS+∠SPQ+∠BPQ=180
⇒∠ABD+∠SPQ+∠BAC=180
⇒ 1/2 (∠ABC)+∠SPQ+ 1/2(∠BAD)=180
o
⇒∠SPQ+1/2(∠ABC+∠BAD)=180
By properties of rhombus
⇒∠SPQ+1/2 (180 )=180
⟹∠SPQ=90
Similarly, ∠PQR=∠QRS=∠RSP=90
Thus, all angles measure 90 and opposite sides are equal
Hence, the figure obtained is a rectangle which is a parellogram
