Question
(i) In ΔADC, S and R are the mid-points of sides AD and CD respectively
In a triangle, the line segment joining the mid-points of any two sides of the triangle is parallel to the third side and is half of it
SR || AC and SR = 1/2AC (1)
(ii) In ΔABC, P and Q are mid-points of sides AB and BC respectively. Therefore, by using mid-point theorem
PQ || AC and PQ = 1/2AC (2)
Using equations (1) and (2), we obtain
PQ || SR and PQ = SR (3)
PQ = SR
(iii) From equation (3), we obtained
PQ || SR and
PQ = SR
Clearly, one pair of opposite sides of quadrilateral PQRS is parallel and equal
Hence, PQRS is a parallelogram
