hey mate!
In geometry, Thales' theorem states that if A, B, and C are distinct points on a circle where the line AC is a diameter, then the angle ∠ABC is a right angle. Thales' theorem is a special case of the inscribed angle theorem, and is mentioned and proved as part of the 31st proposition, in the third book of Euclid's Elements.[1] It is generally attributed to Thales of Miletus, who is said to have offered an ox (probably to the god Apollo) as a sacrifice of thanksgiving for the discovery, but sometimes it is attributed to Pythagoras.
HERE IS YOUR ANSWER.
PROOF OF BPT
Given: In ΔABC, DE is parallel to BC
Line DE intersects sides AB and AC in points D and E respectively.
To Prove: AD/BD=AE/CE
Construction: Draw EF ⟂ AD and DG⟂ AE and join the segments BE and CD.
Proof:
Area of Triangle= ½ × base× height
In ΔADE and ΔBDE,
Ar(ADE)Ar(DBE)=12×AD×EF12×DB×EF=ADDB(1)
In ΔADE and ΔCDE,
Ar(ADE)Ar(ECD)=12×AE×DG12×EC×DG=AEEC(2)
Note that ΔDBE and ΔECD have a common base DE and lie between the same parallels DE and BC. Also, we know that triangles having the same base and lying between the same parallels are equal in area.
So, we can say that
Ar(ΔDBE)=Ar(ΔECD)
Therefore,
A(ΔADE)A(ΔBDE)=A(ΔADE)A(ΔCDE)
Therefore,
AD/BD=AE/CE
Hence Proved.
