Q2 of 56 Page 119

Two points D and E lie on sides AB and AC respectively of ΔABC. Give the information that DE|| BC is not true through the values given in the following questions:

AD = 5.7 cm, BD = 9.5 cm, AE = 3.3 cm and EC = 5.5 cm.

Given,


AD = 5.7 cm


BD = 9.5 cm


AE = 3.3 cm


EC = 5.5 cm.



AB = AD + BD = 5.7 + 9.5 = 15.2 cm


Here,




Hence, DE||BC is true.
