Re: Maths made easy =) stuck sumwhere?Ask ur doubts here!!
AOA!
I hope you don't mind @mathangel, I really couldn't resist solving this! Please don't mind
@captain danger:
Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal and parallel so if you show that EF and HG are the same vectors you have proven the statement.
EB is half of AB so it is the vector (2 4). This is a column vector!!! I dont know how to write it using this keyboard!
BF is half of BC so its (1 0) [again in clomn form,okay?]
Add EB and BF to get EF which is (3 4)
Similarly find HD and DG to get HG, which also be (3 4) [column vector!]
Thus you have proven that they are opposite sides of a parallelogram.
