Solution
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
