प्रश्न

ABCD is a trapezium in which AB || DC and P, Q are points on AD and BC respectively, such that PQ || DC if PD = 18 cm, BQ = 35 cm and QC = 15 cm, find AD

उत्तर

Join AC intersecting PQ at S.

Let AP be x

∴ AD = x + 18

In the ∆ABC, QS || AB

By basic proportionality theorem.

`"AS"/"SC" = "BQ"/"QC"`

`"AS"/"SC" = 35/15`  ...(1)

In the ∆ACD; PS || DC

By basic proportionality theorem.

`"AS"/"SC" = "AP"/"PD"`

`"AS"/"SC" = x/18`  ...(2)

From (1) and (2) we get

`35/15 = x/18`

15x = 35 × 18 ⇒ x = `(35 xx 18)/15` = 42

AD = AP + PD

= 42 + 18 = 60

The value of AD = 60 cm
