Given :   ABCD is a quadrilateral in which P, Q, R and S are mid-points of the sides AB, BC, CD and DA (see Fig \small 8.29). AC is a diagonal.

To prove :  \small SR\parallel AC  and   \small SR=\frac{1}{2}AC

Proof: In \triangleACD,

      S is the midpoint of DA.                (Given)

      R  is the midpoint of DC.               (Given)

  By midpoint theorem,

                        \small SR\parallel AC  and   \small SR=\frac{1}{2}AC
