Question :<\/h2>\n

E and F are points on the side PQ and PR respectively of a triangle PQR. For each of the following cases state whether EF || QR :<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

(i)<\/strong>\u00a0 PE = 3.9 cm,\u00a0 EQ = 3 cm, PF = 3.6 cm and FR = 2.4 cm<\/p>\n

(ii)<\/strong>\u00a0 PE = 4cm, QE = 4.5 cm, PF = 8 cm and RF = 9 cm<\/p>\n

(iii)<\/strong>\u00a0 PQ = 1.28 cm, PR = 2.56 cm, PE = 0.18 cm and PF = 0.36 cm<\/p>\n

Solution :<\/h2>\n

By converse of basic\u00a0 proportionality theorem or Thales theorem <\/strong>that \u00a0if a line divides any two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, then the line must be parallel to the third side.<\/p>\n

(i)<\/strong>\u00a0 Here, \\(PE\\over EQ\\) = \\(3.9\\over 3\\) = \\(1.3\\over 1\\)<\/p>\n

\\(PF\\over FR\\) = \\(3.6\\over 2.4\\) = \\(3\\over 2\\) = 1.5<\/p>\n

Thus, \\(PE\\over EQ\\) \\(\\ne\\) \\(PF\\over FR\\)<\/p>\n

No, EF is not parallel to QR.<\/strong><\/p>\n

(ii)<\/strong>\u00a0 Here, \\(PE\\over EQ\\) = \\(4\\over 4.5\\)<\/p>\n

\\(PF\\over FR\\) = \\(8\\over 9\\) = \\(4\\over 4.5\\)<\/p>\n

Thus, \\(PE\\over EQ\\) = \\(PF\\over FR\\)<\/p>\n

Yes, EF is parallel to QR.<\/strong><\/p>\n

(iii)<\/strong>\u00a0 Here, \\(PQ\\over PE\\) = \\(1.28\\over 0.18\\)<\/p>\n

\\(PR\\over PF\\) = \\(2.56\\over 0.36\\) = \\(1.28\\over 0.18\\)<\/p>\n

Thus, \\(PQ\\over PE\\) \\(\\ne\\) \\(PR\\over PF\\)<\/p>\n

Yes, EF is parallel to QR.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
