Answer» Construction: Join pointsAandC and letACandDBintersect atG. LetDBintersectEFatH. Proof: Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. ⇒AG=CG. By the midpoint theorem,EF∥AC. ⇒△EHB∼△AGBand△FHB∼△CGB. ⇒EH/AG=EB/AB andFH/CG=FB/CB. ButEB/AB=1=FB/CBsinceEandFare the midpoints ofABandBCrespectively. ⇒EH/AG=FH/CG⇒EH/FH=AG/CG=1 ⇒EH=FH. ⇒DBbisectsEF.
