Diagonal of a Parallelogram Divides it into Two Congruent Triangles
Diagonals of a Parallelogram: We know that parallelogram is a quadrilateral in which both the opposite pair of sides are parallel and equal to each other. The diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two congruent triangles.
Theorem 1: A diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two congruent triangles.
Given A parallelogram ABCD.
To prove A diagonal, say, AC, of parallelogram ABCD divides it into congruent triangles ABC and CDA i.e. ABC
CDA
Construction Join AC. Proof Since ABCD is a parallelogram. Therefore, AB Now, AD
Again, AB <BAC = <DCA ....(ii) [ Alternate interior angles ] Now, in <BCA = <DAC [From (i)] AC = AC [ Common side ] <BAC = <DCA [ From (i)] So, by ASA congruence criterion, we have |

10thMy 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.
