Sides AB and BC and median AD of triangle ABC are respectively proportional to sides PQ and QR and median PM of $\triangle PQR$. Show that $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle PQR$.
Show SolutionHide Solution
Sol. Correct figure
In $\triangle ABD$ and $\triangle PQM$
$\frac{AB}{PQ} = \frac{BC}{QR} = \frac{AD}{PM}$ (given)
$\frac{AB}{PQ} = \frac{2BD}{2QM} = \frac{AD}{PM}$
$\frac{AB}{PQ} = \frac{BD}{QM} = \frac{AD}{PM}$
$\therefore \triangle ABD \sim \triangle PQM$
$\therefore \angle B = \angle Q$
In $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle PQR$
$\frac{AB}{PQ} = \frac{BC}{QR}$ and $\angle B = \angle Q$
$\triangle ABC \sim \triangle PQR$
