In a triangle ABC, line l || Side BC and line l intersects side AB and AC in points P and Q, respectively. Prove that: `"AP"/"BP"="AQ"/"QC"`

उत्तर

Construction: Join seg PC and seg BQ.

Given: In ΔABC , line l || BC

Line l intersects side AB and side AC in points P and Q, respectively.

A-P-B and A-Q-C

`"To Prove: ""AP"/"BP"="AQ"/"QC"`

Construction: Join seg BQ and seg CP

In ΔAPQ and ΔBPQ ,

`(A(triangleAPQ))/(A(triangleBPQ))=(AP)/(BP)  "          (i) ...........""(Triangles having equal height)"`

In ΔAPQ and ΔCPQ

`(A(triangleAPQ))/(A(triangleCPQ))=(AQ)/(CQ)"             (ii) ......(Triangles having equal height)"`

`A(triangleBPQ)=A(triangleCPQ)"           (iii) .....(Triangles with common base PQ and same height)"`

`(A(triangleAPQ))/(A(triangleBPQ))=(A(triangleAPQ))/(A(triangleCPQ))"             ..............From (i), (ii) and (iii)"`

`"AP"/"BP"="AQ"/"QC"`

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)
