प्रश्न

In the following figure, XY is parallel to BC, AX = 9 cm, XB = 4.5 cm and BC = 18 cm.


Find : XY

योग

उत्तर

In ΔAXY and ΔABC,

∠XAY = ∠BAC  ...(Common angle)

∠AXY = ∠ABC   ...(Corresponding angles for parallel lines, XY || BC)

∠AYX = ∠ACB    ...(Corresponding angles for parallel lines, XY || BC)

Thus, ΔAXY ∼ ΔABC

Hence, `(AX)/(AB) = (XY)/(BC)`  ...(Using similar triangle property)

`(AX)/(AX + XB) = (XY)/18`

`9/(9 + 4.5) = (XY)/18`

`XY = (18 xx 9)/(13.5)`

XY = 12 cm
