In the following figure, E is a point on side CB produced of an isosceles triangle ABC with AB = AC. If AD ⊥ BC and EF ⊥ AC, prove that ΔABD ∼ ΔECF.
उत्तर
Given: ∆ABC in which AB = AC and AD ⊥ BC. Side CB is produced to E and EF ⊥ AC.
To prove ∆ABD ~ ∆ECF,
Proof: we know that the angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal.
∠B = ∠C ...[∵ AB = AC]
Now, in ∆ABD and ∆ECF, we have
∴ ∠B = ∠C ...[proved above]
∠ADB = ∠EFC = 90°
∴ ∆ABD ~ ∆ECF ...[By AA-similarity]

In the given figure, ΔLMN is similar to ΔPQR. To find the measure of ∠N, complete the following activity.
Given: ΔLMN ∼ ΔPQR
Since ΔLMN ∼ ΔPQR, therefore, corresponding angles are equal.
So, ∠L ≅ `square`
⇒ ∠L = `square`
We know, the sum of angles of a triangle = `square`
∴ ∠L + ∠M + ∠N = `square`
Substituting the values of ∠L and ∠M in equation (i),
`square` + `square` + ∠N = `square`
∠N + `square` = `square`
∠N = `square` – `square`
∠N = `square`
Hence, the measure of ∠N is `square`.
