In the following figure, ABCD is a parallelogram and BD is a diagonal. Find the value of r degree… |
Answer» Consider the DIAGRAM given in the question.As we know, the DIAGONALS of a parallelogram bisect each other. Therefore,⇒AC and BD bisect each other at point O. Thus,⇒OA=OC and OB=OD Now, consider POINTS P and Q. ⇒BP=PQ=DQ ---- (1)
(1)Now, since OB=OD, soPB+OP=OQ+DQFrom equation (1), DQ+OP=OQ+DQ∴OP=OQ Thus, AC and PQ bisects each other.Thus, APCQ is a parallelogram, because both the diagonals bisect each other. Also, since, CQ and AP are the opposite sides of the parallelogram APCQ, they are parallel to each other. |
