The diagonals ACand BD of a quadrilateral ABCD intersects each other at O such that AO/OC=BO/OD. Prove that the quadrilateral ABCDis a trapezium
Given, a quadrilateral ABCD whose diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at O.
To prove: ABCD is a trapezium
Proof : In ∆AOB and ∆COD, we have
∠1 = ∠2 [vertically opposite angles]
∴ ∠3 = ∠4 (corresponding parts of similar triangles]
Now AB and CD are two line and AC being the transversal line making ∠3 = ∠4, it could be possible only in the case when AB || CD, because when a transversal cut the two parallel lines, the alternate opposite angles thus, formed are always equal, which is the case with ∠3 and ∠4.
So ∠3 = ∠4 denotes AB || CD.
Hence, ABCD is a trapezium.
