Chapter name:- Triangles
Exercise :- 4.2
This is very important question of triangle.

We have a triangle ΔABC,

In which D and E are points on the sides AB and AC respectively.

Now For the following case we have to show that DE ∥ BC

It is given that AD = 5.7 cm, BD = 9.5 cm, AE = 3.3 cm, and EC = 5.5 cm.

  1. Given: 

    Length of side AD = 5.7 cm, BD = 9.5 cm, AE = 3.3 cm, and EC = 5.5 cm

    To show: Side DE is parallel to BC (DE || BC)

    Now,

    Length of side AD/BD = 5.7/9.5 = 3/5                               – equation 1

    And,

    Length of side AE/CE = 3.3/5.5 = 3/5                                 – equation 2

    Now from equation 1 and 2

    AD/BD = AE/CE

    So, by the converse of Thale’s Theorem

    We get, DE ∥ BC.

    Hence, Proved
