Given: ABCD is a parallelogram
To prove: AC and BD bisect each other
Proof:
QED
AB and DC are parallel because of the definition
of a parallelogram
Therefore CBE = <ADE and <BCE = <DAE
AD=BC because opposite sides in a
parallelogram are congruent
Therefore AAED
ABEC by angle-side-angle
Therefore AE = CE and BE DE because
congruent parts of congruent triangles are
congruent
