Given,
⎩||m and line segment AB, CD and EF are concurrent at point P.
To prove
in ∆APC and ∆BPD,
∠APC = ∠BPD [vertically opposite angles]
∠PAC = ∠PBD [alternate angles]
∴ ∆APS-BPD [by AAA similarity criterion]
Then,
In ∆APE and ∆BPF,
∠APE = ∠BPF [vertically opposite angles]
∠PAE = ∠PBF [alternate angles]
∴ ∆APE ∼ ∆BPF [by AAA similarity criterion]
Then,
In ∆PEC and ∆PED,
∠EPC = ∠FPD [Vertically opposite angles]
∠PCE = ∠PDF [alternate angles]
∴ ∆PEC ∼ ∆PFD [by AAA similarity criterion]
Then,
From Eqs. (i), (ii) and (iii),
Hence proved.
