Given that:-
△ABC in whichD, E, F are the mid points of sides AB, BC and CA respectively.
To prove:- each of the triangles are similar to the original triangle, i.e.,
△ADF∼△ABC
△BDE∼△ABC
△CEF∼△ABC
Proof:-
Consider the △ADF and △ABC
Since D and F are the mid points of AB and AC respectively.
∴DF∥BC
⇒∠AFD=∠B(Corresponding angles are equal)
Now, in △ADF and △ABC, we have
∠ADF=∠B(Corresponding angles)
∠A=∠A(Common)
By AA similar conditions,
△ADF∼△ABC
Similarly, we have
△BDE∼△ABC
△CEF∼△ABC
∴EF∥AB
⇒EF∥AD..........(1)
And, DE∥AC
⇒DE∥AF..........(2)
From eqn(1)&(2), we have
ADEF is a parallelogram.
Similarly, BDFE is a parallelogram.
Now, in △ABC and △DEF
∠A=∠FED(∵Opposite angles of parallelogram)
∠B=∠DFE(∵Opposite angles of parallelogram)
Therefore, by AA similar condition
△ABC∼△DEF
Hence proved that each of the triangles are similar to the original triangle
