Given:

  • ABC and PQR are similar
  • AB/BC = PQ/QR = AC/PR
  • angle A = angle P
  • angle B = angle Q
  • angle C = angle R

Let AD and PM be the medians of ABC and PQR respectively.

TO PROVE: AD²/PM² = ar( ABC ) / ar( PQR )

PROOF

In ∆ABD and ∆PQM,

angle B = angle Q ( given )

AB/PQ = BC/QR

= 2BD/2QM [ Since Median bisects the side ]

AB/PQ = BD/QM

° By SAS criteria ,

ABD ~ PQM

° AB/PQ = AD/PM --(1) ( C.P.S.T )

We know Ratio of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of their corresponding sides.

° ar(ABC) \ ar(PQR) = AB² / PQ²

ar(ABC) \ ar(PQR) = AD² / PM² [ Since AB/PQ = AD/PM from eq.(1) ]

Hence, Proved.
