प्रश्न

D and E are points on the sides AB and AC respectively of a ΔABC such that DE║BC.
If AD = 3.6cm, AB = 10cm and AE = 4.5cm, find EC and AC.

उत्तर

In Δ ABC, it is given that DE ∥ BC.
Applying Thales’ theorem, we get:

`(AD)/(DB) = (AE)/(EC)`

∵ AD = 3.6 cm , AB = 10 cm, AE = 4.5cm
∴ DB = 10 − 3.6 = 6.4cm

Or,`(3. 6) /(6.4)=(4.5)/(EC)`

Or, EC =`(6. 4× 4.5)/3.6`

Or, EC= 8 cm
Thus, AC = AE + EC
= 4.5 + 8 = 12.5 cm

An aeroplane leaves an airport and flies due north at a speed of 1000km per hour. At the same time, another aeroplane leaves the same airport and flies due west at a speed of 1200 km per hour. How far apart will be the two planes after` 1 1/2`  hours?

Draw an isosceles triangle with base 5 cm and height 4 cm. Draw a triangle similar to the triangle drawn whose sides are `2/3` times the sides of the triangle.


A line is parallel to one side of triangle which intersects remaining two sides in two distinct points then that line divides sides in same proportion.

Given: In ΔABC line l || side BC and line l intersect side AB in P and side AC in Q.

To prove: `"AP"/"PB" = "AQ"/"QC"`

Construction: Draw CP and BQ

Proof: ΔAPQ and ΔPQB have equal height.

`("A"(Δ"APQ"))/("A"(Δ"PQB")) = (["______"])/"PB"`   .....(i)[areas in proportion of base]

`("A"(Δ"APQ"))/("A"(Δ"PQC")) = (["______"])/"QC"`  .......(ii)[areas in proportion of base]

ΔPQC and ΔPQB have [______] is common base.

Seg PQ || Seg BC, hence height of ΔAPQ and ΔPQB.

A(ΔPQC) = A(Δ______)    ......(iii)

`("A"(Δ"APQ"))/("A"(Δ"PQB")) = ("A"(Δ "______"))/("A"(Δ "______"))`   ......[(i), (ii), and (iii)]

`"AP"/"PB" = "AQ"/"QC"`   .......[(i) and (ii)]
