In the adjoining figures, is a parallelogram in which is produced to so that Prove that bisects

ABCD is parallelogram.


In ∆ODC and ∆OEB, we have,
DC = BE …as DC = AB
COD = BOE … Vertically opposite angles are equal
OCD = OBE … Alternate angles with transversal BC
Hence, by SAA test for congruency, we get,
ODC OEB


OC = OB …by cpct
We know that BC = OC + OB.
ED bisects BC.
