प्रश्न
ABCD is a parallelogram and APQ is a straight line meeting BC at P and DC produced at Q. Prove that the rectangle obtained by BP and DQ is equal to the AB and BC.
उत्तर
Given: ABCD is a parallelogram
To prove: BP × DQ = AB × BC
Proof: In ΔABP and ΔQDA
∠B = ∠D [Opposite angles of parallelogram]
∠BAP = ∠AQD [Alternate interior angles]
Then, ΔABP ~ ΔQDA [By AA similarity]
`therefore"AB"/"QD"="BP"/"DA"` [Corresponding parts of similar Δ are proportional]
But, DA = BC [Opposite sides of parallelogram]
Then, `therefore"AB"/"QD"="BP"/"BC"`
⇒ AB × BC = QD × BP

In the above figure, seg AC and seg BD intersect each other in point P. If `("AP")/("CP") = ("BP")/("DP")`, then complete the following activity to prove ΔABP ∼ ΔCDP.
Activity: In ΔABP and ΔCDP

∴ ∠APB ≅ `square` ......Vertically opposite angles
∴ `square` ∼ ΔCDP ....... `square` test of similarity.
