E is the mid-point of side AD of a parallelogram ABCD. A line through A parallel to EC meets BC at F and DC produced at G. Prove that
(i) DG = 2AB
(ii) AG = 2AF

In ΔADG, E is the mid-point of AD and EC ïï AG
... EC =
and C is the mid-point of DG.
... DG = DC + CG = 2DC...(ii)
but, DC = AB ...(opposite sides of a parallelogram)
... DG = 2AB
(ii) In AFCE, AE ïï FC and AF ïï EC,
... Quadrilateral AFCE is a parallelogram
... EC = AF...(iii)
From equations (i) and (iii) we get,
2AF = AG ⇒ AG = 2AF
