Question

P and Q are the points on the sides AB and AC of a triangle ABC such that AP= 3 cm, AB= 6 cm, AQ=7 cm

and AC 21 cm. Is PO||BC? Give reasons for your answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

P and Q are the points on the sides AB and AC of a triangle ABC such that AP= 3 cm, AB= 6 cm, AQ=7 cm

and AC 21 cm. Is PO||BC by converse of Thales theorem

Answer 2

Answer:

No, PQ is not parallel to BC.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

AP = 3 cm        AB = 6 cm       AQ = 7 cm        AC = 21 cm

Here,

For side AB:

AB is 2 times of AP.

For side AC:

AC is 3 times of AQ.

Since, point P and Q are not in the same ratio.

Therefore, PQ is not parallel to BC.
