Prove that the angle bisector of a triangle divides the side opposite to the angle in the ratio of the remaining sides.

In the figure given below, Ray PT is bisector of ∠QPR. If PQ = 5.6 cm, QT = 4 cm and TR = 5 cm, find the value of x .

In a triangle ABC, line l || Side BC and line l intersects side AB and AC in points P and Q, respectively. Prove that: `"AP"/"BP"="AQ"/"QC"`

In the following figure, seg BE ⊥ seg AB and seg BA ⊥ seg AD. If BE = 6 and \[\text{AD} = 9 \text{ find} \frac{A\left( \Delta ABE \right)}{A\left( \Delta BAD \right)} \cdot\]

Draw ∠ABC of measures 135^°and bisect it.

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)

In ∆ABC, ray BD bisects ∠ABC and ray CE bisects ∠ACB. If seg AB ≅ seg AC then prove that ED || BC.
