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](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Ffa923b6f-81dd-482c-8885-6de6bc295751%2F2fd414f5-f51a-4856-be94-61a82cbe9a6f%2F6u5lzi_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
