Question 1

In a parallelogram ABCD, E and F are the midpoints of the sides AB and CD respectively. The line segments AF and BF meet the line segments DE and CE at points G and H respectively Prove that:

a. GEA GFD

b. HEB HFC

c. EGFH is a parallelogram

a. Q A and P are collinear.

b. A is the mid-point of PQ

Question 3

In AABC, D and E are two points on the side AB such that AD = DE = EB. Through D and E, lines are drawn parallel to BC which meet the side AC at points F and G respectively. Through F and G, lines are drawn parallel to AB which meet the side BC at points M and N respectively. Prove that BM = MN = NC.

 

Solution 3

Question 4

In the given figure, the lines l, m and n are parallel to each other. D is the midpoint of CE. Find:

a. BC, b. EF, c. CG and d. BD.

Solution 4

Question 5

The diagonals AC and BD of a quadrilateral ABCD intersect at right angles. Prove that the quadrilateral formed by joining the midpoints of quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle.

Solution 5

The figure is as below:

Let ABCD be a quadrilateral where P, Q, R, S are the midpoints of sides AB, BC, CD, DA respectively.

Diagonals AC and BD intersect at right angles at point O. We need to show that PQRS is a rectangle

Question 6

InABC, D and E are the midpoints of the sides AB and AC respectively. F is any point on the side BC. If DE intersects AF at P show that DP = PE.

Solution 6

Note: This question is incomplete.

According to the information given in the question,

F could be any point on BC as shown below:

So, this makes it impossible to prove that DP = DE, since P too would shift as F shift because P too would be any point on DE as F is.

Note: If we are given F to be the mid-point of BC, the result can be proved.

Question 7

InABC, D and E are the midpoints of the sides AB and BC respectively. F is any point on the side AC. Also, EF is parallel to AB. Prove that BFED is a parallelogram.

Remark: Figure is incorrect in Question

Solution 7

From the figure EF ∥ AB and E is the midpoint of BC. 

Therefore, F is the midpoint of AC. 

Here EF ∥ BD, EF = BD as D is the midpoint of AB. 

BE ∥ DF, BE = DF as E is the midpoint of BC. 

Therefore BEFD is a parallelogram.

Remark: Figure modified
