GEOMETRY

 

Similar triangles    

                Geometrical figures which have same shape but proportional sizes. These figures are called “similar”.   

                        

 

 

Angle Bisector Theorem

Statement

              The internal bisector of an angle of a triangle divides the opposite side internally in the ratio of the corresponding sides containing the angle.

Given

             In DABC, AD is the internal bisector

To Prove

                      

 

No

Statement

Reason

1.

∠AEC= ∠BAE= 1

Two parallel lines cut by a transversal make alternate angles equal

2.

∆ACE is isosceles AC = CE … (1)

In ∆AEC, ∠CAE =∠CEA

3.

∆ABD ̴∆ECD  

 

  

 

By AA Similarity

4.

 

From (1) AC CE. Hence proved
