Question -

In parallelogramABCD, two points P and Q are taken on diagonal BD such that DP = BQ (see Fig.8.20). Show that:

(i) ΔAPD ΔCQB

(ii) AP = CQ

(iii) ΔAQB ΔCPD

(iv) AQ = CP

(v) APCQ is a parallelogram



Answer -

(i) In ΔAPD and ΔCQB,

DP = BQ (Given)

ADP = CBQ (Alternate interior angles)

AD = BC (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)

Thus, ΔAPD ΔCQB[SAS congruency]


(ii) AP = CQ by CPCT as ΔAPD ΔCQB.


(iii) In ΔAQB and ΔCPD,

BQ = DP (Given)

ABQ = CDP (Alternate interior angles)

AB = CD (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)

Thus, ΔAQB ΔCPD[SAS congruency]


(iv) As ΔAQB ΔCPD

AQ = CP [CPCT]


(v) From the questions (ii) and (iv), it is clear that APCQ hasequal opposite sides and also has equal and opposite angles. , APCQ is aparallelogram.
