Basic Proportionality Theorem

PM =4 cm; QM ...

Question

PM =4 cm; QM =4.5 cm;
PN = 4 cm; NR = 4.5 cm

Open in App

Solution

$\frac{P M}{Q M} = \frac{4}{4.5}$ and $\frac{P N}{N R} = \frac{4}{4.5}$
$∴ \frac{P M}{Q M} = \frac{P N}{N R}$ $[E a c h r a t i o = \frac{4}{4.5}]$
$\Rightarrow$ By the converse of Basic Proportinality theorem, we get, MN $∥$ QR.
