Question

prove Thales theorem​

Answer 1

Answer:

Now the area of ∆APQ = 1/2 × AP × QN (Since, area of a triangle= 1/2× Base × Height)

Similarly, area of ∆PBQ= 1/2 × PB × QN

area of ∆APQ = 1/2 × AQ × PM

Also,area of ∆QCP = 1/2 × QC × PM ………… (1)

Now, if we find the ratio of the area of triangles ∆APQand ∆PBQ, we have

area of ΔAPQarea of ΔPBQ = 12 × AP × QN12 × PB × QN = APPB

Similarly, area of ΔAPQarea of ΔQCP = 12 × AQ × PM12 × QC × PM = AQQC ………..(2)

According to the property of triangles, the triangles drawn between the same parallel lines and on the same base have equal areas.

Therefore, we can say that ∆PBQ and QCP have the same area.

area of ∆PBQ = area of ∆QCP …………..(3)

Therefore, from the equations (1), (2) and (3) we can say that,

AP/PB = AQ/QC

Also, ∆ABC and ∆APQ fulfil the conditions for similar triangles, as stated above. Thus, we can say that ∆ABC ~∆APQ.

The MidPoint theorem is a special case of the basic proportionality theorem.

According to mid-point theorem, a line drawn joining the midpoints of the two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side.

Consider an ∆ABC.
