Subject: Parallelogram Proofs Hi. I am having trouble proving that the diagonals of a parallelogram are mutually bisecting. |
Greta,
Maybe I can get you started. I would first show that triangles AEB and ADE are similar. Then
|AB|/|DE| = |AE|/|AE| = 1. Now show that triangles ACB and CDE are similar.
