(i)     quadrilateral ABED is a parallelogram
(ii)    quadrilateral BEFC is a parallelogram
(iii)   AD || CF and AD = CF
(iv)   quadrilateral ACFD is a parallelogram



(v)     AC = DF
(vi)    ∆ABC ≅ ∆DEF. [CBSE 2012


Given: In ∆ABC and ∆DEF, AB = DE, AB || DE, BC = EF and BC || EF. Vertices A, B and C are joined to vertices D, E and F respectively.
To Prove: (i) quadrilateral ABED is a parallelogram
(ii)    quadrilateral BEFC is a parallelogram
(iii)    AD || CF and AD = CF
(iv)    quadrilateral ACFD is a parallelogram
(v)     AC = DF
(vi)    ∆ABC ≅ ∆DEF.
Proof: (i) In quadrilateral ABED,
AB = DE and AB || DE
| Given
∴ quadrilateral ABED is a parallelogram.
| ∵    A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if a pair of opposite sides are parallel
and are of equal length
(ii)    In quadrilateral BEFC,
BC = EF and BC || EF    | Given
∴ quadrilateral BEFC is a parallelogram.
| ∵    A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if a pair of opposite sides are parallel
and are of equal length
(iii)    ∵ ABED is a parallelogram
| Proved in (i)
∴ AD || BE and AD = BE    ...(1)
| ∵    Opposite sides of a || gm
are parallel and equal
∵ BEFC is a parallelogram | Proved in (ii)
∴ BE || CF and BE = CF    ...(2)
| ∵    Opposite sides of a || gm
are parallel and equal
From (1) and (2), we obtain
AD || CF and AD = CF.
(iv)    In quadrilateral ACFD,
AD || CF and AD = CF
| From (iii)
∴ quadrilateral ACFD is a parallelogram.
| ∵ A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if a pair of opposite sides are parallel and are of equal length
(v)    ∵ ACFD is a parallelogram
| Proved in (iv)
∴ AC || DF and AC = DF.
| In a parallelogram opposite sides are parallel and of equal length
(vi)    In ∆ABC and ∆DEF,
AB = DE
| ∵ ABED is a parallelogram
BC = EF
| ∵ BEFC is a parallelogram
AC = DF    | Proved in (v)
∴ ∆ABC ≅ ∆DEF.
