    (i) ∠DAC = ∠BAC ...(1) [∵ Given] ∠DAC = ∠BCA ...(2) [∵ Alternate angle] ∠BAC = ∠ACD ...(3) [∵Alternate angles] From the equations (1), (2) and (3), we have ∠ACD = ∠BCA ...(4) Hence, Diagonal AC bisects angle C also. (ii) From the equation (2) and (4), we have ∠ACD = ∠DAC In ΔADC, ∠ACD = ∠DAC [∵ ProvRead more

    (i) ∠DAC = ∠BAC …(1) [∵ Given]
    ∠DAC = ∠BCA …(2) [∵ Alternate angle]
    ∠BAC = ∠ACD …(3) [∵Alternate angles]
    From the equations (1), (2) and (3), we have
    ∠ACD = ∠BCA …(4)
    Hence, Diagonal AC bisects angle C also.
    (ii) From the equation (2) and (4), we have
    ∠ACD = ∠DAC
    In ΔADC,
    ∠ACD = ∠DAC [∵ Prove above]
    AD = DC [∵ In a triangle, the sides opposite to equal angle are equal]
    A parallelogram whose adjacent sides are equal, is a rhombus. Hence, ABCD is a rhombus.

    (i) In ABED, AB = DE [∵ Given]
    AB ∥ DE [∵ Given]
    Hence, ABED is a parallelogram.

    (ii) In BEFC, BC = EF [∵ Given]

    Triangle ABP and parallelogram ABCD lie on the same base AB and between the same parallels, AB ∥ CD Hence, ar (APB) = (1/2) ar (ABCD) ....(1) [∵ If a parallelogram and a triangle are on the same base and between the same parallels, than area of the triangle is half the area of the parallelogram.] SiRead more

    Triangle ABP and parallelogram ABCD lie on the same base AB and between the same parallels, AB ∥ CD
    Hence, ar (APB) = (1/2) ar (ABCD) ….(1)
    [∵ If a parallelogram and a triangle are on the same base and between the same parallels, than area of the triangle is half the area of the parallelogram.]
    Similarly,
    Triangle BQC and Parallelogram ABCD lie on the same base AB and between same parallels, AD ∥ BC.
    Hence, ar(BQC = (1/2)ar(ABCD) …(2)
    From the equation (1) and (2), ar (APB) = ar(BQC).
