Thales theorem :-
According to the Thales Theorem, if a line is drawn || to one side of a triangle, to interest the other two sides at indistinct points, the other two sides are divided in the same ratio. Thales theorem is also known as Basic Proportionality Theorem (B.P.T.).
✏ Thales theorem Proof :-
Given : - In △ABC,DE∥BC
To prove :- =
Construction :- Join BE and CD . Draw EF⊥AB and DN ⊥ AL .
Proof :-
ar(△ADE) = ×AD×EF
= ×AE×DN
▶ar(△BDE) = ×BD×EF
▶ar(△CDE) = ×EC×DN
▶ar(△ADE)/ar(△BDE) = ×AD×EF/×BD×EF ........(1)
▶ ar(△ADE)/ar(△CDE) = ×AE×DN/×EC×DN ........(2)
▶But, ar(△BDE) = ar(△CDE) ..............(3)
As they are on the same base DE and DE ∥ BC
From (1), (2) and (3) ,
➡ AD/DB = AE/EC
