प्रश्न

In each of the given pairs of triangles, find which pair of triangles are similar. State the similarity criterion and write the similarity relation in symbolic form:  

उत्तर

We have : 

`(DE)/(QR)=2.5/5=1/2` 

`(EF)/(PQ)=2/4=1/2` 

`(DF)/(PR)=3/6=1/2` 

⇒` (DE)/(QR)=(EF)/(PQ)=(DF)/(PR)` 

Therefore, by SSS similarity theorem, Δ FED- Δ PQR

In the given figure, X is any point in the interior of triangle. Point X is joined to vertices of triangle. Seg PQ || seg DE, seg QR || seg EF. Fill in the blanks to prove that, seg PR || seg DF. 

Proof :  In ΔXDE, PQ || DE         ...`square`

∴ `"XP"/square = square/"QE"`                               ...(I) (Basic proportionality theorem)

In ΔXEF, QR || EF                       ...`square`

∴ `square/square = square/square                                                           ..."(II)" square`

∴ `square/square = square/square`                                ...from (I) and (II)

∴ seg PR || seg DF           ...(converse of basic proportionality theorem)
