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 CGEF.


since, E is the mid-point of CA.


CE = AE……(i)


In ∆ACG,


CGEF and E is mid-point of CA.


So, CE = GF…(ii) [by mid-point theorem]


Now, in ∆BCG and ∆BDF,


CG || EF



Hence proved.
