The diagonals of a quadrilateral ABCD intersect each other at the point O such thatShow that ABCD is a trapezium
Draw a line OE parallel to AB
Given: In triangle ABD, OE is parallel to AB
Now, using basic proportionality theorem, we obtain
(i)
It is given that,
(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
EO || DC (By the converse of basic proportionality theorem)
⇒ AB || OE || DC
⇒ AB || CD
Hence,
ABCD is a trapezium
