Dear Student!
(i) Since diagonal of a square bisects the vertex and BD is the diagonal of square ABCD
Given : EF || BD
⇒ ∠CEF = ∠CBD = 45° and ∠CEF = ∠CDB = 45° (corresponding angles)
⇒ ∠CEF = ∠CFE
⇒ CE = CF (sides opposite of equal angles are equal) .......(1)
Now BC = CD (Sides of square) ........(2)
Subtracting (1) from (2) we get
⇒ BC – CE = CD – CF
⇒ BE = DF
(ii) ∆ABE ≅ ∆ADF (by SAS congruency criterion)
⇒ ∠BAE = ∠DAF and AE = AF ........(3)
and ∆AER ≅ ∆AFR (by SSS congruency criterion)
⇒ ∠EAR = ∠FAR .........(4)
Now Adding (3) and (4) we get
⇒ ∠BAE + ∠EAR = ∠DAF + ∠FAR
⇒ ∠BAR = ∠DAR
i.e AR bisects ∠BAD
(iii) Since AR bisects ∠BAD and we know that in a square its diagonal bisects the angle of vertex.
∴ AR is along the diagonal AC.
Hence,AR produced will pass through C.
