उत्तर

Given, AB = 6 cm, BC = 9 cm, CD = 12 cm and SP = 36 cm

Also, PA, QB, RC and SD are all perpendiculars to line l

∴ PA || QB || RC || SD

By basic proportionality theorem,

PQ : QR : RS = AB : BC : CD

= 6 : 9 : 12

Let PQ = 6x, QR = 9x and RS = 12x

Since, length of PS = 36 cm

∴ PQ + QR + RS = 36

⇒ 6x + 9x + 12x = 36

⇒ 27x = 36

∴ x = `36/27 = 4/3`

Now, PQ = 6x

= `6 xx 4/3`

= 8 cm

QR = 9x

= `9 xx 4/3`

= 12 cm

And RS = 12x

= `12 xx 4/3`

= 16 cm

Given: In ΔABC line l || side BC and line l intersect side AB in P and side AC in Q.

To prove: `"AP"/"PB" = "AQ"/"QC"`

Construction: Draw CP and BQ

Proof: ΔAPQ and ΔPQB have equal height.

`("A"(Δ"APQ"))/("A"(Δ"PQB")) = (["______"])/"PB"`   .....(i)[areas in proportion of base]

`("A"(Δ"APQ"))/("A"(Δ"PQC")) = (["______"])/"QC"`  .......(ii)[areas in proportion of base]

ΔPQC and ΔPQB have [______] is common base.

Seg PQ || Seg BC, hence height of ΔAPQ and ΔPQB.

A(ΔPQC) = A(Δ______)    ......(iii)

`("A"(Δ"APQ"))/("A"(Δ"PQB")) = ("A"(Δ "______"))/("A"(Δ "______"))`   ......[(i), (ii), and (iii)]

`"AP"/"PB" = "AQ"/"QC"`   .......[(i) and (ii)]
