In the given fig, D is a point on the side BC of ∆ABC such that ∠ADC = ∠BAC. Prove that or CA2 = CB.CD.
Proof : In ∆ABD and ∆CDE,
AD = DE [by construction]
∠ADB = ∠CDE
[vertically opposite angles]
and BD = DC [AD is a median]
Therefore, by using SAS congruent condition
[by CPCT]
Similarly, we can prove
[by CPCT]
It is given that:
Therefore, by using SSS congruent condition
...(i)
Similarly, ...(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
∠1 + ∠3 = ∠2 + ∠4
∠A = ∠P
Now, in ∆ABC and ∆PQR
and
Therefore, by using SAS similar condition
∆ABC ~ ∆PQR Hence Proved.
Diagonals of a trapezium ABCD with AB || DC intersect each other at the point O.If AB = 2 CD, find the ratio of the areas of triangles AOB and COD.
In the given fig, ABC and DBC are two triangles on the same base BC. If AD intersects BC at O, show that
