Given P is the midpoint of AE P is the midpoint of BK ABEK A
Given: P is the midpoint of AE P is the midpoint of BK AB||EK AB EK Prove: delta ABP = delta EKP
Solution
Given P is the midpoint of AE,
Therefore AP = PE.
Given P is the midpoint of BK,
Therefore BP = PK.
Given, AB is parallel to EK and AB = EK.
m(BPA) = m(EPK) as they are vertically opposite angles.
In triangles APB and EPK,
AP = EP,
m(BPA) = m(EPK),
BP = KP
Therefore, by SAS congruency property both the traingles are congruent.
