Prove that If each diagonal of a quadril...

Prove that If each diagonal of a quadrilateral separates it into two triangles of equal area then show that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since AC is the diagonal
`ar(/_ABC)=ar(/_ACD)`
`ar(/_ABC)+ar(/_ACD)=ar(ABCD)`
`ar(/_ABC)=1/2ar(ABCD)-(1)`
Since,BD is the diagonal
`ar(/_ABD)=ar(/_CBD)`
`ar(/_ABD)+ar(/_CBD)=ar(ABCD)`
`ar(/_ABD)=1/2ar(ABCD)-(2)`
