  1. Given, ΔABC ~ ΔPQR

    Ncert solutions class 10 chapter 6-27

    We know that the corresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion.

    ∴AB/PQ = AC/PR = BC/QR……………………………(i)

    Also, ∠A = ∠P, ∠B = ∠Q, ∠C = ∠R ………….…..(ii)

    Since AD and PM are medians, they will divide their opposite sides.

    ∴ BD = BC/2 and QM = QR/2 ……………..………….(iii)

    From equations (i) and (iii), we get

    AB/PQ = BD/QM ……………………….(iv)

    In ΔABD and ΔPQM,

    From equation (ii), we have

    ∠B = ∠Q

    From equation (iv), we have,

    AB/PQ = BD/QM

    ∴ ΔABD ~ ΔPQM (SAS similarity criterion)

    ⇒AB/PQ = BD/QM = AD/PM
