E and F are points on the sides PQ and PR respectively of a △PQR. For each of the following cases, state whether EF∣∣QR : (i) PE=3.9 cm, EQ=3 cm, PF=3.6 cm and FR=2.4 cm (ii) PE=4 cm, QE=4.5 cm, PF=8 cm and RF=9 cm (iii) PQ=1.28 cm, PR=2.56 cm, PE=0.18 cm and PF=0.36 cm

  1. E and F are two points on side PQ and PR in PQR.
    (i) PE=3.9 cm, EQ=3 cm and PF=3.6 cm, FR=2.4 cm
    Using Basic proportionality theorem,
    PE​/EQ=3.9​/3=39​/30=13/10=1.3

    PF/FR=3.6​/2.4=36/24=3/2=1.5

    EQPE=FRPF

    So, EF is not parallel to QR.

    (ii) PE=4 cm, QE=4.5 cm, PF=8 cm, RF=9 cm
    Using Basic proportionality theorem,
    PE​/QE=4/4.5=40/45=8/9
    PF​/RF=8/9
    PE/QE=PF/RF
    So, EF is parallel to QR.
    (iii) PQ=1.28 cm, PR=2.56 cm, PE=0.18 cm, PF=0.36 cm
    Using Basic proportionality theorem,
    EQ=PQPE=1.280.18=1.10 cm
    FR=PRPF=2.560.36=2.20 cm
    PE/EQ=0.18​/1.10=18/110=9/55… (i)
    PE/FR=0.36/2.20=36/220=9/55 … (ii)
    PE/EQ=PF/FR
