By the midline theorem for a trapezium, segment EF joining the midpoints of the non-parallel sides is parallel to both bases with length EF = (AD + BC)/2 = (3 + 5)/2 = 4 cm. Since E and F bisect the legs, both resulting trapeziums AEFD and EBCF share an identical vertical height h. Evaluating theirRead more

Diagonals of parallelogram ABCD bisect each other, giving OB = OD. Since AB ∥ CD, alternate interior angles yield ∠PBO = ∠QDO. Furthermore, ∠POB = ∠QOD as vertically opposite angles. Therefore, triangle POB ≅ triangle QOD by ASA congruence. Corresponding sides give OP = OQ, meaning O is the midpointRead more

See lessA more general midpoint theorem and its converse. In a quadrilateral ABCD, suppose AB ∥ DC. Recall that such ABCD is called a trapezium. Let E be the midpoint of AD. A line drawn through E intersects side BC at F. (i) If EF ∥ AB, then show that F is the midpoint of BC. Conclude that EF = (AB + CD)/2. (ii) If F is the midpoint of BC, then show that EF ∥ AB. There are at least two ways to solve (ii). Do it directly by using the midpoint M of BD and showing that EM and FM are the same lines. Or use (i) along with the same idea used in the second proof of the converse of the Midpoint Theorem. Which way do you think is simpler?
(i) Draw diagonal BD meeting line EF at M. In triangle DAB, line EM through midpoint E parallel to AB bisects BD at M. In triangle BDC, MF ∥ DC bisects BC at F, yielding EF = EM + MF = AB/2 + CD/2 = (AB + CD)/2. (ii) Midpoints of AD and BC join to form EF. Using the uniqueness of a parallel line thrRead more
