step-by-step explanation:
Given: Two poles of heights 'a' and 'b' are apart at a distance of 'p'.
Lines of their heights and opposite feet are joined intersecting at pt E.
A line is drawn to the BC from E intersecting at F,
where EF = h
and,
FC = m
To prove : h =
Proof :
In ∆ ABC and ∆EFC,
angle ACB = angle ECF ( common )
angle ABC = angle EFC = 90°
angle BAC = FEC ( corresponding angles as AB || EF )
so,
by AAA similarity criteria,
∆ ABC ~ ∆ EFC
=> a/h = p/m
=> m = ph/a ........................(i)
now,
similarly,
we can prove,
∆ BCD ~ ∆ BFE
=> b/h = p/(p-m)
=> p- m = ph/b
=> m = p - ph/b
now,
putting the value of m from eqn (i),
we get,
=> ph/a = p - ph/b
=> ph(1/a + 1/b ) = p
=> h ( 1/a + 1/b ) = 1
=> h { (a+b)/ab } = 1
=> h = ab/(a+b)
therefore,
h =
Hence,
Proved..
