प्रश्न
D and E are points on the sides AB and AC respectively of a ΔABC. In each of the following cases, determine whether DE║BC or not.
AB = 11.7cm, AC = 11.2cm, BD = 6.5cm and AE = 4.2cm.
उत्तर
We have:
AB = 11.7 cm, DB = 6.5 cm
Therefore,
AD = 11.7 -6.5 = 5.2 cm
Similarly,
AC = 11.2 cm, AE = 4.2 cm
Therefore,
EC = 11.2 – 4.2 = 7 cm
Now,
`(AD)/(DB)=5.2/6.5=4/5`
`(AE)/(EC)=4.2/7`
Thus,`(AD)/(DB)≠ (AE)/(EC)`
Applying the converse of Thales’ theorem,
We conclude that DE is not parallel to BC.
