distances of the vertices of the triangles on AB, CD from that on BC are respectively equal to the two diagonals of the parallelogram.
88. If the angle between two adjacent sides of a paral, lelogram be increased, while their lengths do not alter, the diagonal through their point of intersection will diminish.
89. A,B, C are three points in a straight line, such that AB is equal to BC: shew that the sum of the perpendiculars from A and C on any straight line which does not pass between A and C is double the perpendicular from B on the same straight line.
90. If straight lines be drawn from the angles of any parallelogram perpendicular to any straight line which is outside the parallelogram, the sum of those from one pair of opposite angles is equal to the sum of those from the other pair of opposite angles.
91. If a six-sided plane rectilineal figure have its opposite sides equal and parallel, the three straight lines joining the opposite angles will meet at a point.
92. AB, AC are two given straight lines; through a given point E between them it is required to draw a straight line GEH such that the intercepted portion GH shall be bisected at the point E.
93. Inscribe a rhombus within a given parallelogram, so that one of the angular points of the rhombus may be at a given point in a side of the parallelogram.
94. ABCD is a parallelogram, and E, F, the middle points of AD and BC respectively; show that BE and DF will trisect the diagonal AC.
I. 35 to 45.
95. ABCD is a quadrilateral having BC parallel to AD; shew that its area is the same as that of the parallelogram which can be formed by drawing through the middle point of DC straight line parallel to AB.
96. ABCD is a quadrilateral having BC parallel to AD, E is the middle point of DC; shew that the triangle AEB is half the quadrilateral.
97. Shew that any straight line passing through the middle point of the diameter of a parallelogram and terminated by two opposite sides, bisects the parallelogram.
