D and E are points on the sides AB and AC respectively of a ΔABC. In each of the following cases, determine whether DE║BC or not.
AB = 11.7cm, AC = 11.2cm, BD = 6.5cm and AE = 4.2cm.
उत्तर
We have:
AB = 11.7 cm, DB = 6.5 cm
Therefore,
AD = 11.7 -6.5 = 5.2 cm
Similarly,
AC = 11.2 cm, AE = 4.2 cm
Therefore,
EC = 11.2 – 4.2 = 7 cm
Now,
`(AD)/(DB)=5.2/6.5=4/5`
`(AE)/(EC)=4.2/7`
Thus,`(AD)/(DB)≠ (AE)/(EC)`
Applying the converse of Thales’ theorem,
We conclude that DE is not parallel to BC.

Nazima is fly fishing in a stream. The tip of her fishing rod is 1.8 m above the surface of the water and the fly at the end of the string rests on the water 3.6 m away and 2.4 m from a point directly under the tip of the road. Assuming that her string (from the tip of her road to the fly) is taut, how much string does she have out (in the given figure)? If she pulls the string at the rate of 5 cm per second, what will the horizontal distance of the fly from her after 12 seconds.
