Theorem 2: In parallelogram, opposite sides are equal.
GIVEN A parallelogram ABCD TO PROVE AB = CD and DA = BC Construction Join AC Proof Since ABCD is a parallelogram. Therefore, AB DC and AD BC Now, AD BC and transversal AC intersects them at A and C respectively. <DAC = <BCA ...(i) [ Alternate interior angles] Again, AB DC and transversal AC intersects them at A and C respectively. <BAC = <DCA ....(ii) [Alternate interior angles] Noe, in ADC and CBA, we have <DAC = <BCA [From (i)] AC = AC [Common side] and, <DCA = <BAC [From (ii)] So, by ASA-criterion of congruence ADC CBA AD = CB and DC = BA [ Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equal] |
Converse Theorem: A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if its opposite sides are equal
Given : A quadrilateral ABCD in which AB= CD and AD= BC To Prove: ABCD is a Parallelogram. Const: Join AC Proof: In AC= AC [ Common ] AB = CD [Given] BC = AD [Given] [ By SSS Criteria of Congruence] [CPCT] But they are alternate interior angles when AB and CD are straight lines and AC is the transversal. As they are equal therefore AB || CD and [CPCT] But they are alternate interior angles when BC and AD are straight lines and AC is the transversal. As they are equal therefore BC || AD. As both the opposite pair of sides are parallel therefore ABCD is a parallelogram. |
Illustration: Given a triangle ABC lines PQ, QR and PR are drawn from vertex B, A and C such that PQ || AC, QR || BC and PR || AB. Prove that BC is half or QR.
Proof: BC || QR and PR || AB Therefore ABCR is a parallelogram as both the opposite pair of sides are parallel. BC = AR ------------(i) [ Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal ] Similarly, BC || QR and PQ || AC Therefore AQBC is a parallelogram as both the opposite pair of sides are parallel. BC = AQ --------------(ii) [ Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal ] From (i) and (ii) BC = AQ= AR QR = AQ+ AR = BC + BC = 2 BC |

One of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
Abhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
My experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.
It was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
It has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
Abhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
About Abhyas metholodology the teachers are very nice and hardworking toward students.The Centre Head Mrs Anu Sethi is also a brilliant teacher.Abhyas has taught me how to overcome problems and has always taken my doubts and suppoeted me.
Being a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.
