उत्तर

In the adjoining figure, ABCD is a || gm in which E and F are the midpoints  of AB and CD respectively.

Since E and F are midpoints of AB and CD respectively

∴ AE = BE =`1/2` AB

And CF = DF =`1/2` CD

But, AB = CD

∴ `1/2` AB = `1/2` CD

⇒ BE = CF

Also, BE || CF                [∵ AB || CD]

∴ PHBE is a parallelogram

BE = PH         ....(i)

⇒ AEPG is parallelogram

∴ AE = GP          ....(ii)

But is the midpoint of AB

∴ AE = BE         ...(iii)

from (i), (ii) and (iii)

⇒ GP = PH
