BO
DO​

Answer 1

Wanda used to sit in the seat next to the last seat, in the last row, in Room Thirteen. She sat there because her feet were normally caked with dry mud and very dirty. So in order to avoid being laughed at by her classmates, she sat there to hide her dirty feet.

Hope it helps

Answer 2

Correct Question :

ABCD is a trapezium in which AB || DC and its diagonals intersect each other at the point O.Show AO/BO = CO/DO

Solution :

• Given,

ABCD is a trapezium where AB||DC and diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at O.

• To prove,

$\large\sf{\dfrac{AO}{BO}=\dfrac{CO}{DO}}$

From the point O,draw a line EO touching AD at E,in such a way that,EO||DC||AB

In triangle ADC,we have OE||DC

Therefore, by using basic proportionality theorem

$\large\sf{\frac{AE}{ED} = \frac{AO}{CO}}$..............(i)

Now,in triangle ABD OE||AB

By using basic proportionality theorem

$\large\sf{\frac{DE}{EA} = \frac{DO}{BO}}$..............(ii)

From equation (i) and (ii), we get,

$\large\sf{\frac{AO}{CO} = \frac{BO}{DO}}$

$\large\sf{\implies\frac{AO}{BO} = \frac{CO}{DO}}$

Hence Proved.
