प्रश्न
ABCD is a parallelogram, AD is produced to E so that DE = DC and EC produced meets AB produced in F. Prove that BF = BC.
उत्तर
Draw a parallelogram ABCD with AC and BD intersecting at O
Produce AD to E such that DE = DC
Join EC and produce it to meet AB produced at F.
In ΔDCE ,
∴`∠`DCE = `∠`DEC .........CD [In a triangle, equal sides have equal angles opposite]
AB || CD (Opposite sides of the parallelogram are parallel)
∴AE || CD ( AB Lies on AF )
AF || CD and EF is the transversal.
∴`∠`DCE = `∠`BFC .....(2) [Pair of corresponding angles]
From (1) and (2), we get
`∠`DEC = `∠`BFC
In ΔAFE,
`∠`AFE = `∠`AEF (`∠`DEC = `∠`BFC )
∴AE = AF (In a triangle, equal angles have equal sides opposite to them)
⇒ AD + DE = AB + BF
⇒ BC + AB = AB + BF [ ∵ AD = BC, DE = CD and CD = AB, AB = DE ]
⇒ BC = BF
