In a parallelogram ABCD, E and F are the mid-points of sides AB and CD respectively. Show that the line segments AF and EC trisect the diagonal BD.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given ,ABCD is a parallelogram and since AB is parallel to CD
So,AE is also parallel to CF and AB=CD
`1/2​`AB=`1/2`​CD⇒AE=OF
So,in AECF
