In (fig. 4.59), if , prove that .

1=2 (Given)


Draw a line ECAD


AC bisects them


∴∠2=3 (by alternate angle) ………………. (i)


1=4 (corresponding angle) ……………..(ii)


1=2 (given)


From equ (i) and equ (ii)


3=4


or AE=AC ……………..(III)


Now , BCE


BD/DC=BA/AE ( BY PROPORTIONALITY THEORAM)


BD/DC=AB/AC ( BA=AB AND AE=AC from equ (iii))


Hence AB/AC=BA/DC Proved
