उत्तर

The figure is shown below

(i) From ΔHEB and ΔFHC
BE = FC
∠EHB = ∠FHC                        ...[ Opposite angle ]
∠HBE = ∠HFC
∴  ΔHEB ≅ ΔFHC
∴  EH = CH , BH = FH

(ii) Similarly AG = GF and EG = DG      …..(1)
For triangle ECD,
F and H are the mid-point of CD and EC.
Therefore HF || DE and 
HF = `[1]/[2]` DE                                          ....(2)

From (1) and (2) we get,
HF = EG and HF || EG
Similarly, we can show that EH = GF and EH || GF
Therefore GEHF is a parallelogram.
