Let E and F are midpoints of the diagonals AC and BD of trapezium  ABCD respectively. Draw DE and produce it to meet AB at G Consider △AEG and △CED ⇒  ∠AEG=∠CED                 [ Vertically opposite angles ] ⇒  AE=EC                 [ E is midpoint of AC ] ⇒  ∠ECD=∠EAG          [ Alternate angles ] ⇒  △AEG≅△CED     [ By SAA congruence rule ] ⇒  DE=EG     ---- ( 1 )  [ CPCT ] ⇒  AG=CD    ----- ( 2 )   In △DGB E is the midpoint of DG           [ From ( 1 ) ] F is midpoint of BD ∴  EF∥GB ⇒  EF∥AB       [ Since GB is part of AB ] ⇒  EF is parallel to AB and CD. Also, EF=21​GB ⇒  EF=21​(AB−AG) ⇒  EF=21​(AB−CD)           [ From ( 2 ) ]
