ABCD is a parallelogram on whose side BC a point P lies. It DP and AB are produced ahead then they meet at L. Then prove that

(i) (ii)



(i) In ΔDPC & ΔBPL,



DPC = BPL |vertically opposite s


In ||gm ABCD,



DC||AB or DC||AL,


⇒ ∠DCP = LBP


ΔDPC~ΔBPL by AA Similarity Rule



Hence,proved.


(ii)In ΔPLB & ΔDLA,



L = L |common angle


In ||gm ABCD, AD||BC or AD||BP,


⇒ ∠LPB = LDC |corresponding angles


ΔPLB~ΔDLA by AA Similarity Rule


…(1)



Subtracting 1 from both sides of the above equation,




…(2)


Multiplying (1) & (2),



Or,


Hence, proved.
