Solution
\[\text{ In parallelogram BDEF }\]
\[ \therefore BD = EF . . . (i) (\text{ opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal })\]
\[\text{ In parallelogram DCEF }\]
\[ CD = EF . . . (ii) (\text{ opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal })\]
\[\text{ From equations (i) and } (ii)\]
\[BD = CD\]
