:If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle to intersect the other two sides in distinct points, the other sides are divided in the same ratio.
:
We are given with ΔABC in which a line parallel to side BC intetsects other two sides AB and AC at D and E respectively.
we need to prove that .
Let us join BE and CD and then draw DM perpendicular to AC and EN perpendicular to AB.
Now, ar(ADE) =
Similarly ar(BDE) =
ar(ADE) =
ar(DEC) =
THEREFORE,
=
= _______(1)
and,
=
= _______(2)
Note that ΔBDE and ΔDEC are on the same base DE and between the same parallels BC and DE.
So, ar(BDE)=ar(DEC) ______(3)
Therefore, from (1), (2) and (3), we have:
