Q: 5 In Fig.9.33, ABC and BDE are two equilateral triangles such that D is the mid-point of BC. If AE intersects BC at F, show that
(iv)
[Hint: Join EC and AD. Show that and
, etc.]
Since ABC and
BDE are equilateral triangles.
Therefore, ACB =
DBE =
BE || AC
BDE and
AED are on the same base ED and between same parallels AB and DE.
Therefore, ar(BED) = ar(
AED)
On subtracting EFD from both sides we get
Hence proved.
