ABCD is a parallelogram. E and F are the mid points of the sides AB and CD respectively. Prove that the segments CE and AF trisect the diagonal BD.

AE||CF and AE = CF (halves of opposite sides of a parallelogram)
Therefore, AECF is a parallelogram.
So, EC||AF
In
DPC, FQ||CP and F is the mid point of DC

So, PQ = QD
(Line through the mid point of one side of triangle and parallel to the another side, bisects the third side)
Similarly in
ABQ, BP = PQ

Hence, BP = PQ = QD
Thus, CE and AF trisect the diagonal BD.
