Solution
Given: ▢ABCD is a parallelogram. seg AD || seg BC and BD is their transversal.
To prove: `"AP"/"PD" = "PC"/"BP"`
Proof:
seg AD || seg BC and BD is their transversal. ...(Given)
∴ ∠DBC ≅ ∠BDA ...(Alternate angles)
∴ ∠PBC ≅ ∠PDA ...(i) [D−P−B]
In △PBC and △PDA,
∠PBC ≅ ∠PDA ...[From (i)]
∠BPC ≅ ∠DPA ...(Vertically opposite angles)
By AA test of similarity,
∴ △APD ∼ CPB
∴ `"AP"/"PC" = "PD"/"PB"` ...(Corresponding sides of similar triangles)
∴ `"AP"/"PD" = "PC"/"PB"` ...(By alternendo)
Hence proved.
