Q8 of 42 Page 210

CD and GH are respectively the bisectors of ACE and EGF such that D and H lie on sides AB and FE of Δ ABC and Δ FEG respectively. If Δ ABC Δ FEG then show that

i.


ii. Δ DCB ΔHGE


iii. Δ DCA ΔHGF


Given, Δ ABC Δ FEG …..eq(1)


corresponding angles of similar triangles


BAC = EFG ….eq(2)


And ABC = FEG …….eq(3)


ACB = FGE



ACD = FGH and BCD = EGH ……eq(4)


Consider Δ ACD and Δ FGH


From eq(2) we have


DAC = HFG


From eq(4) we have


ACD = EGH


Also, ADC = FGH


If the 2 angle of triangle are equal to the 2 angle of another triangle, then by angle sum property of triangle 3rd angle will also be equal.


by AAA similarity we have in two triangles if the angles are equal, then sides opposite to the equal angles are in the same ratio (or proportional) and hence the triangles are similar.


Δ ADC Δ FHG


By Converse proportionality theorem



Consider Δ DCB and Δ HGE


From eq(3) we have


DBC = HEG


From eq(4) we have


BCD = FGH


Also, BDC = EHG


Δ DCB ΔHGE


Hence proved.
