ABCD is a trapezium with AB | I DC. E and F are points on non-parallel sides AD and BC respectivelysuch that EF is parallel to AB¡Show that =".

Answer»

To Prove: AE/ED = BF/FC

Proof: Given AB||DC and EF||ADSo, EF||DC (Since, lines parallel to same line are parallel to one another)

Now, join A and C. And let AC intersect EF at point G.

Therefore, in triangle ADC,EG|| DC

So, AE/ED = AG/GC (Since, lines drawn parallel to one side of triangle intersects the other two sides in distinct points. Then it divides the other two side in the same ratio)

Hence, Proved
