Answer:
Basic Proportionality Theorem states that "If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle to intersect the other two sides in distinct points, the other two sides are divided in the same ratio".

Answer:
Basic Proportionality Theorem With Applications:
A line drawn parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two sides proportionally .
Given:
In ∆ABC;
line DE is drawn parallel to side BC which meets AB at D and E.
To prove: AD/DB=AE/EC
PROOF:
STATEMENT. REASON :
In ∆ABC and ∆ADE,
- <ABC=<ADE. [Corresponding angles]
- <ACB=<AED. [Corresponding angles]
- <ABC=<ADE. [Common]
∆ABC~∆ADE. [AAA postulate ]
AB/DE=AE/EC. [Corresponding sides of similar triangle are proportional]
=>AD+DE/AD=AE+EC/AE
=>1+DB/AD=1+EC/AE
DB/AD=EC/AE
AD/DE=AE/EC............hence proved
Theorem 2
The areas of two similar triangles are proportional to the square on their corresponding sides.
Given:
∆ABC~∆EF such that<BAC=<EDF, <B=<E and <C=<F.
To prove:
Construction:
Draw AM bisect BC and DN bisect EF.
Proof:
Area of ∆ ABC=1/2 BC*AM(Area of ∆ =1/2 base*altitude
Area of ∆DEF=1/2EF*DN(Area of ∆=1/2 base*altitude)
BC/EF*AM/DN......1
IN ∆ ABM AND DEN:
∆ABM~∆DEN. (By AA postulate)
AM/DN=AB/DE(Corresponding sides of similar ∆ are in proportion).......2
In ∆ABC~∆DEF
AB/DE=BC/EF=AC/DF.......3
AM/DN=BC/EF. [FROM 2 AND 3]
= BC/EF*BC*EF=BC²/EF²......4
Now combining 3 and 4
Area of ∆ ABC/Area of ∆DEF
=AB²/DE²
=BC²/EF²
=AC²/DF²
