Question: See the figure below. If AB=BC and DE=EF, is the line DF parallel to the line AC?
This should be an elementary problem. But I can't construct a counterexample to disprove the above question. If the answer is negative, please give a counterexample. Thanks.
Answer
Hint:
- Let D′F′ be a segment analogous to DF such that E∈D′F′ and D′F′∥AC.
- Then △DED′ and △FEF′ are congruent and so DD′∥FF′.
I hope this helps ¨⌣
