In figure, line segment DF intersects the side AC of a ∆ABC at the point E such that E is the mid-point of CA and ÐAEF = ÐAFE. Proved that
Given,
in ∆ABC, E is the mid-point of CA and ÐAEF = ÐAFE
To prove BD/CD = BF/CE
Construction take a point G on AB such that CG‖EF.
since, E is the mid-point of CA.
∴ CE = AE……(i)
In ∆ACG,
CG‖EF and E is mid-point of CA.
So, CE = GF…(ii) [by mid-point theorem]
Now, in ∆BCG and ∆BDF,
CG || EF
Hence proved.
