Basic Proportionality Theorem:-
For online classes yo can go through mention URL
Basic Proportionality Theorem states that "If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle to intersect the other two sides in distinct points, the other two sides are divided in the same ratio".
In the following figure, segment is parallel to the side of . Note how divides and in the same ratio:
Proof of Basic Proportionality Theorem:
Given:
To prove:
Construction:
- Join and
- Draw
- Draw
Proof: Consider . If you have to calculate the area of this triangle, you can take to be the base, and to be the altitude, so that:
Now, consider . To calculate the area of this triangle, you can take to be the base, and (again) to be the altitude (perpendicular from the opposite vertex ).
Thus,
Next, consider the ratio of these two areas you have calculated:
In an exactly analogous manner, you can evaluate the ratio of areas of and :
Finally, We know that "Two triangles on the same base and between the same parallels are equal in area". Here, and are on the same base and between the same parallels – .
Considering above results, we can note,
This completes our proof of the fact that divides and in the same ratio.
