In a trapezium ABCD, $AB || DC$ and its diagonals intersect at O. Prove that $\frac{OA}{OC} = \frac{OB}{OD}$.
Show SolutionHide Solution
Proving $\triangle OAB \sim \triangle OCD$ (By AA similarity criterion) ($1\frac{1}{2}$ marks)
$\therefore \frac{OA}{OC} = \frac{OB}{OD}$ (corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional) ($\frac{1}{2}$ mark)
