Step-by-step explanation:
Given In the given figure ps, sq, pt and tr are 4 cm, 1 cm, 6 cm and 15 cm respectively. prove that st parallel to qr. also find the ratio of ar(triangle pst)/ar(trap qrts)
- According to question, From triangle PST and triangle PQR,
- PS / PT = 4/6 = 0.67
- Also PQ / PR = 5 / 7.5 = 0.67
- Now therefore PS/PT = PQ/PR = 0.67
- Angle SPT = angle QPR because common angle
- So triangle PST = triangle PQR
- PS / SQ = PT / TR
- 4/1 = 6/1.5
- 4 = 4
- Since two points S and T divide the sides in the same ratio, the third side is parallel to ST
- So QR is parallel to ST (proved)
- Now we need to find the ratio of area of triangle PST / area of triangle RTS
- So Area of triangle PST / Area of triangle PQR – Area of triangle PST
- = 4^2 / 5^2 – 4^2
- = 16 / 25 – 16
- Therefore area of triangle PST / Area of triangle RTS = 16 / 9
