Q : 4 ABCD is a trapezium in which , BD is a diagonal and E is the mid-point of AD. A line is drawn through E parallel to AB intersecting BC at F (see Fig. ). Show that F is the mid-point of BC.
Given: ABCD is a trapezium in which , BD is a diagonal and E is the mid-point of AD. A line is drawn through E parallel to AB intersecting BC at F (see Fig. ).
To prove: F is the mid-point of BC.
In ABD,
E is the midpoint of AD. (Given)
EG || AB (Given)
By converse of midpoint theorem,
G is the midpoint of BD.
In BCD,
G is mid point of BD. (Proved above)
FG || DC (Given)
By converse of midpoint theorem,
F is the midpoint of BC.
