Question

In the figure, write the

(i) Corresponding vertices and

(ii) Corresponding sides of the ΔAPQ and ΔABC. Hence show that AP. AB = AQ.AC.

Answer 1

The given figure is:

Here, we observe that, and.

Thus, triangles APQ and ACB are similar.

(i) The corresponding vertices are:

(ii) The corresponding sides are:

Applying the corollary of Basic Proportionality Theorem, we get:
