ABCD is a parallelogram and E and F are the centroids of triangles ABD and BCD respectively, then EF=
Given: ABCD is a parallelogram
E and F are the centroids of triangle ABD and BCD
Since, the diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other
AO is the median of triangle ABD
And,
CO is the median of triangle CBD
EO= AO (Since, centroid divides the median in the ratio 2:1)
Similarly,
FO = CO
EO + FO = AO +
CO
= (AO + CO)
EF = AC
AE = AO
= *
AC
= AC
Therefore,
EF = AE
