Answer: Hopefully this helps you out!

Given:

ABCD is a parallelogram, which means opposite sides are parallel and equal in length.

E is the midpoint of BC, which means that BE = EC.

Prove:

AFBE ADCE.

Proof:

Since ABCD is a parallelogram, we know that AB // DC and AD = AB (opposite sides are equal in length)

Since E is the midpoint of BC, we know that BE = EC (definition of midpoint)

From the first step and second step, we know that AB = AD and BE = EC

Therefore, we can say that AFBE and ADCE (by CPCTC)

Therefore, given that ABCD is a parallelogram and E is the midpoint of BC, we have been able to prove that AFBE ADCE.
