11. In ΔABC andΔDEF, AB = DE, AB || DE, BC = EF and BC || EF. Vertices A, B and C are joinedto vertices D, E and F respectively (see Fig. 8.22).

Show that

(i) quadrilateralABED is a parallelogram

(ii) quadrilateralBEFC is a parallelogram

(iii) AD || CF andAD = CF

(iv) quadrilateralACFD is a parallelogram

(v) AC = DF

(vi) ΔABC ΔDEF.



Answer -

(i) AB = DE and AB || DE (Given)

Two opposite sides of a quadrilateral are equal and parallel toeach other.

Thus, quadrilateral ABED is a parallelogram


(ii) Again BC = EF and BC || EF.

Thus, quadrilateral BEFC is a parallelogram.


(iii) Since ABED and BEFC are parallelograms.

AD =BE and BE = CF (Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)

, AD = CF.

Also, AD || BE and BE || CF (Opposite sides of a parallelogramare parallel)

, AD || CF


(iv) AD and CF are opposite sides of quadrilateral ACFD whichare equal and parallel to each other. Thus, it is a parallelogram.


(v) Since ACFD is a parallelogram

AC || DF and AC = DF


(vi) In ΔABC and ΔDEF,

AB = DE (Given)

BC = EF (Given)

AC = DF (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)

, ΔABC ΔDEF[SSS congruency]
