Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:- A rectangle ABCD.
To prove:- ABCD is a parallelogram
Proof:-
Here in rect. ABCD, E is the mid points of diagonals.
∠ ECD = ∠EAB ( alternative angles)...(i)
∠ EAD =∠ECB (alternative interior angle)...(ii)
So, both the lines are parallel
Adding equation (i & ii)
∠EAD + ∠EAB = ∠ECD + ∠ECB...(iii)
=) ∠DAB = ∠DCB
As, both the AB is parallel to DC and opposite angles are equal.
Thus, ABCD is a parallelogram
(proved)
