let AB = a = DC
BC = b = AD
AC, DB be the diagonals {a,b are vectors}
AC+DB
(AB+BC)+ (DA+DC)
(a+b)+ (-b+a) {-b as the direction is negative}
2a
=2DC
Hence, 2DC=AC+DB
2DC-DB = AC

Since,ABCD is a parallelogramSo,DC=AB.Now,2DC-DB can be written as AB+DC-DB=ACAB+(DC-DB)=ACAB+BC=AC. Since(BC+CD=DB)AC=AC. Since(AB+BC=AC)Proved
