Description : In the adjoining figure, ABCD is a parallelogram in which AB is produced to E so that BE = AB. Prove that ED bisects BC -Maths 9th
Last Answer : Given, ABCD is a parallelogram. BE = AB To show, ED bisects BC Proof: AB = BE (Given) AB = CD (Opposite sides of ||gm) ∴ BE = CD Let DE intersect BC at F. Now, In ΔCDO and ΔBEO, ∠DCO = ... CD (Proved) ΔCDO ≅ ΔBEO by AAS congruence condition. Thus, BF = FC (by CPCT) Therefore, ED bisects BC. Proved
