Example 4. Prove that any line parallel to parallel sides of a trapezium divides the non-parallel sides proportionally (i.e. in the same ratio)
Solution:-
Given:- PQRS is a trapezium in which PQ || SR || XY
To Prove:-
Construction:- PR is joined which intersects XY at A.
Proof:- In
[ Thales Theorem]
( Taking reciprocals)
From (i) and (ii) we get
Example 5. In the given figure DE || AQ and DF || AR
Prove that EF || QR
Solution:-
In
from (1) and (2) we get
