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

Subtracting 1 from both sides of the above equation,
![]()
![]()
…(2)
Multiplying (1) & (2),
![]()
Or, ![]()
Hence, proved.
