If the diagonals of a quadrilateral divide each other proportionally , prove that itAskis a trapezium
Given: ABCD is a quadrilateral and Diagonal AC and BD intersect at O such that
In ∆AOD and ∆BOC
∠AOD = ∠COB (Vertically opposite angles)
Thus ∆AOD ~ ∆BOC (by SAS similarity creation)
⇒ ∠OAD = ∠OCB ... (1)
Now transversal AC intesect AD and BC such that ∠CAD = ∠ACB (from (1)) (Alternate opposite angle)
So AD || BC
Hence ABCD is a trapezium.
