Given : 

ABCD is a parallelogram,

Diagram :

To Prove : 

BF = BC

Proof :

In ΔACE 

D and O are the mid points of AE and AC

DO || EC

OB || CF

And,

AB = BF ...(i)

DC = BF 

(AB = DC as ABCD is a parallelogram and opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal and parallel)

In ΔEDC and ΔCBF

DC = BC

∠EDC = ∠CBF

∠ECD = ∠CFB

So, by ASA congruency

ΔEDC ≅ ΔCBF

DE = BC

DC = BC

AB = BC

BF = BC

(AB = BF from (i))
