Chapter 11.3, Problem 18PSC
To determine

To Calculate:The formula to find the length of PQ

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given information : Trapezoid ABCD , in which X and Y are midpoint of sides and P and Q are midpoint of diagonals

Formula used : Midpoint theorem

Calculation: Draw a line AG passing from P to DC .

Now, in ΔDPG and ΔAPB ,

  DPG=APB (Vertically Opposite Angles)

  PDG=ABP (Alternate Interior Angles)

  DP=PB (P is the midpoint of BD)

  ΔDPGΔAPB (By SAS Congruency Rule)

  DG=AB and AP=PG (By Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles)

Now, in ΔAGC ,

P is midpoint of AG and AC,

  PQCG and PQ=12(CG) (By midpoint theorem)

  PQ=12(DCDG)
