In triangle ABC point D is on side BC (B−D−C) such that ∠BAC = ∠ADC then prove that CA2 = CB × CD
उत्तर
In ΔBAC and ΔADC,
∠BAC ≅ ∠ADC ......[Given]
∠BCA ≅ ∠ACD ......[Common angle]
∴ ΔBAC ∼ ΔADC .....[AA test of similarity]
∴ `"CA"/"CD" = "CB"/"CA"` ......[Corresponding sides of similar triangles]
∴ CA × CA = CB × CD
∴ CA2 = CB × CD

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)
