In parallelogram ABCD, two points P and Q are taken on diagonal BD such that `D P = B Q`. Show that:
(i) `DeltaA P D~= DeltaC Q B`
(ii) `A P = C Q`
(iii) `DeltaA Q B~= DeltaC P D`
(iv) `A Q = C P`
(v) APCQ is a parallelogram.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

i) In ΔAPD and ΔCQB,
=>AD = CB (Opposite sides)
=>∠ADP = ∠CBQ (Alternate interior angles)
=> DP = BQ (Given)
So,ΔAPD ≅ ΔCQB (by SAS congruence rule)

(ii) Since ΔAPD ≅ ΔCQB,
∴ AP = CQ
