In the following Figure, DE || BC such that AE = (1/4) AC. If AB = 6 cm, find AD.
उत्तर
We have, DE || BC, AB = 6 cm and AE `= 1/4` AC
In ΔADE and ΔABC
∠A = ∠A [Common]
∠ADE = ∠ABC [Corresponding angles]
Then, ΔADE ~ ΔABC [By AA similarity]
`rArr"AD"/"AB"="AE"/"AC"` [Corresponding parts of similar Δ are proportional]
`rArr"AD"/6=(1/4AC)/"AC"` [∵ AE `=1/4` AC given]
`"AD"/6=1/4`
`rArr"AD"=6/4=1.5` cm

In the given figure, ΔLMN is similar to ΔPQR. To find the measure of ∠N, complete the following activity.
Given: ΔLMN ∼ ΔPQR
Since ΔLMN ∼ ΔPQR, therefore, corresponding angles are equal.
So, ∠L ≅ `square`
⇒ ∠L = `square`
We know, the sum of angles of a triangle = `square`
∴ ∠L + ∠M + ∠N = `square`
Substituting the values of ∠L and ∠M in equation (i),
`square` + `square` + ∠N = `square`
∠N + `square` = `square`
∠N = `square` – `square`
∠N = `square`
Hence, the measure of ∠N is `square`.
