Given: Triangle ABC and ∆PQR in which AD and PM are medians drawn on sides BC and QR respectively. It is given thatTo Prove : ∆ABC ~ ∆PQRConst : Produce AD to E such that AD = DE and PM to F such that PM = MF.
Proof : In ∆ABD and ∆CDE,AD = DE [by construction]∠ADB = ∠CDE[vertically opposite angles]and BD = DC [AD is a median]Therefore, by using SAS congruent condition [by CPCT]Similarly, we can prove [by CPCT]It is given that: Therefore, by using SSS congruent condition ...(i)Similarly, ...(ii)Adding (i) and (ii), we get∠1 + ∠3 = ∠2 + ∠4∠A = ∠PNow, in ∆ABC and ∆PQR and Therefore, by using SAS similar condition∆ABC ~ ∆PQR Hence Proved.
