Given :-
In triangle ABC, D and E are points on BC and AB such that BD = 2cm, DC = 3 cm. BE = 1.8 cm, AE = 2.7cm.
To prove :-
DE || AC
Concept used :-
The converse of BPT states that "In a triangle, if a line segment intersecting two sides and divides them in the same ratio, then it will be parallel to the third side".
Proof :-
In triangle ️ ABC
BD = 2 cm
DC = 3 cm
BE = 1.8 cm
AE = 2.7cm.
Consider, BD/DC = 2/3
Consider, BE/AE = 1.8/2.7 = 2/3
=> BD/DC = BE/AE
=> By converse of BASIC PROPORTIONALITY THEOREM,
DE || AC.
HENCE, PROVED.
